Dr Seuss Inspired – Easy Fox {Kid Craft}

Although a lot of people are focused on Valentine’s Day this week – I’m already thinking about Dr Seuss’ birthday that is coming up the beginning of March. Yes, that may seem far away – but it’s never too early to start thinking about craft projects to celebrate ;)

One of my favorite books from the Dr Seuss collection is Fox In Socks. It’s a great beginner’s book with some fun tongue twisters inside. It’s meant to be read out loud and get those giggles out. My son always looks at me funny for a second as I read it – then busts out with laughs like no other! He really is silly!

With today’s craft post – I hope it inspires you to sit down with your child for some reading and craft time afterwards. It’s so easy – you really have no excuse not to! {No really – make some time today to get it done!}

Here is what you need to make your Dr Seuss Inspired Easy Fox Craft:

Supplies:
* Large Paper Plate
* Orange Tissue Paper {affiliate link}
* White School Glue
* Scissors
* Orange/White Cardstock
* One Large Brown Pom Pom
* Stapler

Directions:
1. First trim down your paper plate so it looks like a triangle/fox’s face.
2. Next – cut up you orange tissue paper into 2×2 squares.
3. Slather some glue all over the paper plate and ask your child to lay the tissue paper down – making sure to completely cover the paper plate.
4. While they are covering their paper plate with tissue paper – cut out two triangles out of the orange cardstock and two circles out of the white. This will be the fox’s ears & eyes.
5. To finish, glue the eyes on and staple the ears to the paper plate. Then add the brown pom pom where the nose would be and you have a fox!

This is an easy craft, that can be done on a very simple craft budget. If you don’t have orange tissue paper, orange cardstock works well. Don’t have that either – have your child color in their paper plate with orange markers or crayons.
