Create a Whimsical Paper Plate Squirrel in Pumpkin Craft for Kids

Crafting with kids is more than just a fun activity! It helps develop their creativity, fine motor skills, and ability to follow instructions.

Today, we’ll guide you through a delightful project that’s perfect for the fall season—a whimsical paper plate squirrel nestled inside a pumpkin. This fun craft idea is sure to entertain your little ones and create a memorable bonding experience.

Craft Supplies:

Directions:

  • First things first – have children paint their paper plate completely ORANGE.
  • Add some brown paint for dimension.
  • Once done, set aside to let it dry a bit.
  • Now grab your your squirrel printout, along with crayons and scissors.
  • Color in ONE of the squirrel designs and trim it out.
  • Add a wiggle eye so he can see.
  • Next, out of the brown cardstock, trim out a rectangular stem for the pumpkin.
  • Set all the cardstock pieces you just cut out, aside.
  • Next up – grab your painted paper plate and scissors. We are going to cut it in half but not directly in the center. You will want to cut so you create a small pumpkin “lid” for your squirrel friend to pop through. Use our picture for an example.
  • Now grab the stapler. Stapler the paper plate pieces back together but in a slight angle so it looks like the pumpkin is opening up.
  • Grab the squirrel cutout. Staple it inside the broken paper plate pumpkin.
  • Finally – take the green pipe cleaner and curl it to look greenery for the pumpkin. Along with the brown cardstock stem, staple those two pieces to the paper plate.
  • Add other embellishments you see fit before displaying your paper plate pumpkin with squirrel craft proudly!

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!
