Craft Supplies:

Directions:

  • First things first – grab our free squirrel printable, listed above in the supply list.
  • Go ahead and find it on your computer, right click and print it out on a single sheet of white cardstock paper.
  • Now that you have the printable, go ahead and color in the squirrel design however you like.
  • When done coloring, trim it out and discard excess paper.
  • At this point in time you can also add a googly eye to the squirrel cutout as well.
  • Now grab a single sheet of tan or brown cardstock paper and your choice of writing utensil.
  • Pick a hand – any hand will do!
  • Lay it flat on the cardstock paper and trace around the hand & arm. This is the start of the tree branch.
  • When ready, trim out the traced design with your scissors.
  • Next up – grab your glue stick and glue the handprint/arm cutout to your light blue cardstock paper. You just want to make sure you leave plenty of room for the squirrel to sit.
  • Follow that up by gluing down the squirrel cutout on the “tree branch.”
  • The last step is to cut out a few small leaves from various colors of cardstock paper and glue those on as well.
  • Now add any other embellishments you see fit.
  • Then display your squirrel on tree branch paper piece proudly for all to admire!

MAKE IT YOUR OWN TODAY: to change it up, go ahead and glue on natural materials such as leaves from outside or perhaps even a small handfuls of twigs

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!
