Cupcake Liner Squirrel

PRINT THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR THIS CRAFT -

Inspired by own life, a children’s book and my love of SQUIRRELS, today I present to you our Cupcake Liner Squirrel Kid Craft idea!

It combines ALL of my favorite things into one great craft idea!

Cupcake Liner Squirrel - Kid Craft Idea For Story Time

Muffin Cup Liner Squirrel Craft

Back in Wyoming, I was known as the girl who fed the squirrels.

Ok – maybe it was just a few friends {more like close family and my husband} who knew.

Some people like to watch birds, while I like to watch squirrels. Wherever we happened to live, I made an effort to provide fresh corn cobs and nutty bird seed. It was just neat and relaxing to watch them out our large front window with a hot cup of coffee in hand. Simple relaxing for me.

But of course since it became such a routine to feed them, whenever I lacked with my duties, I swear the squirrels would get revenge. From things mysteriously disappearing off our front porch, to them making themselves homey in our garage – there were at times of chaos and lots of fist shaking at them.

So anyways, long story short…that’s exactly what inspired my recent “Those Darn Squirrels” book purchase and today’s cupcake liner squirrel kid craft idea. It’s perfect for story time and a fall craft activity – I hope it inspires you! Find all the crafty details below for this cupcake liner squirrel art project idea! Happy crafting my friends!
