Quick Tip: In case you are planning to adopt a guinea pig as a pet after making this craft, we suggest getting a pair. These rodents are extremely social and get quite lonely on their own!

Encourage your children to get creative with this fun animal paper craft by choosing the colors of the guinea pig. Think of replacing brown spots with orange spots or making a black guinea pig instead of white!
