Fork Painted Lorax Craft Idea For Kids

This colorful and imaginative activity encourages your children’s creativity while they get the pleasure of painting their own art piece. It’s such a fun way to make a Lorax on paper!

Craft Supplies:

  • Plastic Fork
  • Orange Craft Paint
  • White Cardstock Paper
  • Yellow Cardstock Paper
  • Black Cardstock Paper
  • Paper Scissors
  • School Glue
  • Large Googly Eyes

You can find ALL our favorite craft supplies via our AMAZON SHOP link!

Directions:

  • First squirt some orange paint in the center of your white cardstock. You don’t need a lot. Maybe the size of a quarter.
  • Have children take their fork – which is their “paint brush” and spread the paint ALL around to make the fur of their Lorax. Just make sure they keep the paint on the paper but they can move it anywhere and in any design/shape/angle they like.
  • Once they are done creating the “fur” set it aside.
  • Grab the remaining cardstock and scissors.
  • Trace/cut out two handprint cutouts for the Lorax’s beard.
  • At this point in time you should cut out his eyebrows and nose.
  • Finally – the last step of this fork painted Lorax craft. Glue your cardstock pieces and wiggle eyes to the painted piece of paper. I suggest starting with the two handprint cutouts and then working from there.
  • Set aside to let it dry completely before displaying proudly for all to see!
