I found this mural idea on Art Projects for Kids and we went ahead and purchased the PDF. You print the file out, color the pieces of paper, and then assemble it together on the wall. How simple is that?My daughter loves giraffes and I thought this would be a perfect surprise for her. She was away for the weekend recently and the five of us all helped color the mural with oil pastels. It went very fast once we picked our color scheme and divided up the pages. Amanda was very surprised when she came home to find a huge giraffe on her wall!
I highly recommend these PDF projects! There are other projects you can purchase as well including a dinosaur, a butterfly, and reproductions of art masterpieces. Go check them out!

Great work! And, what a fabulous resource!! Thanks for the link to the art project site! I KNOW we will try some of these!!
What a treat, my boys will love these and wouldn't it be fun to color them without revealing to the kids WHAT we were coloring? So the puzzle is assembled afterward? Patchwork Giraffe...
You print out all the pages...we did ours on cardstock. There are twenty eight pages to color and then assemble on the wall as a mural.
We used oil pastels but you might consider markers or crayons as a less messy alternative. We made a big mess with the pastels even as adults.

You all did an awesome job... Amanda must have been thrilled to see how nice it turned out, and how much love was put into it for her..... cool.... very cool..
What a nice surprise!
I like the Mother's day Card idea that I saw over at that site.
I'm going to see if the kids will make one for me!
What an Awesome site! Thanks for another great resource.
thank you for this idea, we just need to decide between the starry night or the irises!
