Craft Supplies:
- Gray Craft Paint
- White Cardstock Paper
- Black Cardstock Paper
- Scissors
- Pencil
- School Glue
- Large Wiggle Eyes {two per raccoon craft}
Directions:
- First things first – fold your white cardstock paper in half {hamburger style.} Open it back up.
- Squirt some gray craft paint on ONE side of the white paper. You don’t want to drench it in one spot but at the same time you want to make sure there is a good amount of paint ON the paper, by making several lines and squiggles of paint.
- Now fold up the paper and caress it with your hands, to make the paint transfer {aka – squish} to both sides. Some paint might ooze out from the sides so be prepared for that.
- Carefully open up the folded paper to reveal your paint splat design. Set it aside for now.
- Next up – grab the remaining black cardstock paper and pencil.
- Trace your hands on the paper.
- Follow that up by cutting out the handprint designs. These will become the raccoon’s eyes.
- At this point in time, you should also cut out a small heart shaped nose and two triangle ears from the remaining black paper.
- Finally – the last step of this paint splat raccoon craft. Glue your cardstock pieces and googly eyes to the painted piece of paper. Start with the handprints {going outward from each other} and then go from there.
- Set aside to let it dry completely before displaying proudly!
