Dr Seuss Inspired – Paper Plate Fox Kid Craft Tutorial
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! Don’t forget to share pictures of your paper plate fox friend on our Facebook and Instagram, so we can admire your hard work from a far this season! We can’t wait to see your orange fox made from a paper plate and tissue paper! #gluedtomycrafts

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 works well. Don’t have that either – have your child color in their paper plate with orange markers or crayons.

I love this.
What I did differently is I used the paper plate extra parts for the ears and just had students cover the ears with orange paper as well.
Thanks for sharing.
