Fork Painted Lorax Craft Idea For Kids 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

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!

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!
