Easy DIY craft: Paper Fox Craft

This paper craft for kids is perfect for preschoolers ready to practice their cutting and gluing skills, as well as older elementary school children! Given below are the steps courtesy of tinyhumansread.com.

Supplies you need are: Colored craft paper, Pencil, Scissors, Craft glue and Black marker.

Trace the template patterns on the selected colored papers. Cut out the traced patterns with scissors.

Glue the inner ear patterns (2 small triangular pieces) on the ear parts of the fox’s head pattern and glue the heart shaped piece on the bottom side of the head. Glue the small pattern of the tail on the tip of the big tail pattern.

Prepare a paper bag using an 8 inches × 8 inches orange colored craft paper or any colored craft paper you prefer for the fox. You can also use a sheet of paper if you don’t want to make a paper bag fox.

Attach the belly pattern of the fox below the head (on the middle part of the bag or paper sheet). Attach the head pattern of the fox on the top side of the bag, keeping half of the head outside the bag’s top end. Attach the tail on either side of the bag, in between the side folds of the bag. Use a black sharpie to draw the eyes and nose of the fox. 

Easy DIY Crafts: Baby Turtles for kids

Looking for some fun and unique summer crafts to do with the kiddos? Here is the best one. Below are the steps courtesy of pinkstripeysocks.com.

First paint 3 mini popsicle sticks with quick dry solid tempera paint. Once our paint dried drew on a face and some toes. Then, hot glue the turtle together.

First tie on a piece of long yarn(make sure to leave a bit of excess yarn so that you can tie last piece of yarn with first piece of yarn at the end). Then, wrap the yarn around the turtle (across the center), making sure to cover the middle portion.

Then, begin weaving just like you would with a normal two stick God’s eye pattern. Place the yarn over a popsicle stick, wrap it around once, and then place the yarn over the next popsicle stick, and wrap it around… and keep repeating that over and around process. And to change colors, simply tie on another piece of yarn.

Once you finished, tie the last piece of yarn to first piece of yarn. And that’s it! It’s such a fun and easy craft that’s sure to please kids of all ages.
