Looking for a fun and easy Dr. Seuss craft project to do with your kids? This paper plate fox in socks craft is perfect!
Orange Fox Paper Plate 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. Am I right?! 😉
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 Paper Plate Fox 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!} Then when you do complete the paper plate orange fox craft {because you will – wink wink!} I highly encourage you to come share pictures on our Facebook page to see!
So enough chit chat from me. Below is what you need to make and how you will pull together your own Dr. Seuss Inspired Easy Fox Craft. Happy crafting, my dear friends!

PAIR YOUR FOX CRAFT WITH —> Paper Bag Fox Puppet
Don’t let the crafty fun end here! We have more ideas for you!
This is an easy tissue paper fox craft, that can be done on a very simple craft budget. If you don’t have orange tissue paper, orange cardstock paper works well. Don’t have that either – have your child color in their paper plate with orange markers or crayons.
On that note – before you click away from our site, you should also check out our Paper Plate Cricket, Paper Plate Green Eggs, and Popsicle Stick Horton craft posts! All of which would pair nicely with the Dr. Seuss theme we have going on today! #gluedtomycrafts
