- Sticky tape or staple the paper rolls together down the length of the rolls. A stapler should only be used by an adult.
- Make a hole on the outside of each paper rolls at the top of the binoculaurs.
- Run string or ribbon through both holes and tie a knot to secure.
- Hide animal drawings or animal crackers all over the home and put on your backpacks, hats etc and off you go for a safari hunt.

Our tip – Make the giraffe, zebra and elephant animal characters and use these as part of your wild safari.
