Super EASY Fox Craft Made From Paper!
Today’s paper fox craft post is probably the easiest kids craft project you can pull together for your child this year.
All it involves is some cardstock paper, crayons and glue. Yup! Basic materials you probably already have on hand right now. It’s just matter of pulling it all out and laying it on the table to sparkle the creativity. Not to mention I’ve included a FREE printable, that you will find in the supply list below, to get you started even faster on this paper FOX craft idea.
BTW – our cardstock paper fox craft is very versatile! Although I hope you want to make your foxy friend look just like mine, you can also make it a bit more personal, by making it your “craft” mission to change up the colors and/or change it up & have your fox craft be used for different holidays by making the fox hold holiday-themed items in its paws! Maybe a pumpkin for fall or a present for Christmas. So many possibilities on this one and I hope you run with it!
Now friends – it’s time to cozy up and clean off the kitchen table for some awesome fox themed craft time inside. To recreate this idea with your child today, find all the details below in our simple to follow tutorial!
Happy crafting, my friends! Please don’t forget to share pictures of your fox paper pieces with us! Find us on Facebook or use our branded hashtag #gluedtomycrafts for us to see!
