Craft Supplies:
- Fox Head Printable – on our landing page
- White Cardstock Paper
- Orange Crayon
- Scissors
- Orange Cardstock Paper
- White Craft Paint
- Small Paper Plate
- Clean, Plastic Fork
- Glue Stick
- Googly Eyes – two per craft
Directions:
- Start by printing out our “fox head printable” on a single sheet of white cardstock. You’ll need one printable per fox craft.
- Next, grab an orange crayon and color in the fox head on the printable.
- Once colored, carefully cut out the head using scissors. Set the head piece aside and discard the excess paper.
- Take a sheet of orange cardstock and fold it in half horizontally (hamburger style). Use scissors to cut it down the center, creating two equal rectangular pieces. One rectangle will become the fox’s body, while the other will be cut into a tail shape.
- Now it’s time to add some texture! Pour a small amount of white craft paint onto a paper plate (about the size of a quarter).
- Using a plastic fork as your paintbrush, dip the fork into the paint and create line strokes across both orange paper pieces. This will give your fox some charming “white fur” details.
- Repeat the strokes until you’re happy with the look.
- Once the paint has dried, assemble your fox! Glue the tail to the back of the body and attach the head on top. Don’t forget to glue on the fox’s eyes!
- Allow the entire craft to dry completely before displaying your adorable fox creation with pride.
