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!

We hope this latest freebie from Glued To My Crafts comes in handy for you! Happy crafting, my friends! #gluedtomycrafts
