The supplies are so simple and it’s a great way to get kids excited about the changing seasons, while spending some time together crafting.
Craft Supplies:
- Large Paper Plate
- Craft Paint {orange & brown}
- Paint Brushes
- White Cardstock Paper
- Brown Cardstock Paper
- Fox Printable – on our fall landing page
- Crayons, Markers or Coloring Pencils
- Craft Scissors
- Stapler/Adhesive
- Green Pipe Cleaner
- Large Googly Eyes
Directions:
- First things first – decorate your paper plate to look like a pumpkin. Start off by covering it with ORANGE craft paint and then adding a few lines of brown to the center, to give the “pumpkin” some dimension.
- When done decorating the paper plate, set it aside to let it dry completely.
- Next up – the paper elements that will bring the pumpkin fox to life. Go ahead and grab ALL your paper pieces, coloring tools & the scissors.
- Go ahead and color in the white {printed printable} however you like {I highly recommend orange for the ears and tail, while leaving the heart shape blank!}
- Trim out all the pieces.
- Discard excess paper.
- Next, out of the remaining piece of brown cardstock paper, cut out a medium sized oval nose and rectangle stem.
- Now we are heading to the final steps! Once the decorated paper plate is completely dry, go ahead and staple on the ears & fox tail.
- Next glue down the HEART piece in the center of the paper plate.
- Follow that up by gluing down the wiggle eyes and nose.
- Finally, curl the green pipe cleaner with your fingers and staple it onto the top of the paper plate.
- Go ahead and add any other embellishments you see fit and display your fox paper plate pumpkin proudly for all to see!
