To complete this “I’m nuts about you” craft, the first thing you need to do is print out our provided file, on a single sheet of WHITE cardstock paper. Have children use crayons to color in the squirrel design. At this point in time you can also glue on a googly eye as well.

Next up, help children add their painted footprint to create the tail for the squirrel. Let it dry completely.

And that’s it for this painted squirrel keepsake! Children can of course add any other embellishments they see fit around the paper and then they will have a beautiful and sentimental piece to either display or gift away!

Craft Activity Safety Guidelines:

Always Ensure Adult Supervision - Young children should be supervised at all times when engaging in craft activities. This is essential to keep them safe and ensure materials are used correctly. Use Age-Appropriate Supplies - Choose craft supplies that are suitable for your child’s age. Check labels for recommendations and avoid items with small parts or sharp edges for younger children. Modify as Needed - Feel free to adapt materials or steps to meet your child's abilities and safety needs. For example, substitute scissors with safety scissors if necessary. Keep an Eye on Allergies - Be mindful of potential allergens in craft materials like glue, paint, or certain fabrics. Opt for non-toxic and hypoallergenic options whenever possible. Organize and Secure Supplies - Keep all craft tools and materials organized. Store sharp objects, small parts, and potentially hazardous items out of reach when not in use. Following these guidelines will ensure that crafts remain fun, creative, and, most importantly, safe for everyone involved!
