Crafts for kids featuring squirrels
If you want to make a craft featuring a cute squirrel, you can start with a book titled ‘Scaredy Squirrel.’ There are many great books starring this animal, but you may want to go a little further and create your own crafts. One such book is ‘Nuts to You’ by Lois Ehlert, a delightful story about kids and squirrels. You can use the book cover as inspiration to create a craft based on the story. Other materials include a paper crown template and glue.
If you’re looking for more crafts for kids that feature squirrels, consider these three printable activities. These will help build fine motor skills as kids trace the shape of a squirrel using a marker. They can also use real acorns to practice math and to learn about the habitat of squirrels. Lastly, don’t forget about the fact that squirrels can be found on every continent except Antarctica and Australia. Squirrels are also great for hands-on nature studies. During the winter, they use fallen acorns as toys to build their home.
Paper face masks
If you are planning to hold a Halloween party or classroom craft, you should use this printable squirrel face mask. To make it easy, you can print the printable mask on heavy card stock and then attach it to poster board. This mask has holes for string. You can reinforce the holes with transparent tape or tie an elastic string around it. The mask should fit snugly but not too tightly. The mask is now ready to be worn.
To make the mask, print a squirrel face template online or on the computer and cut out the picture. Then, glue it to the mask rim. While this mask is completely disposable, a more elaborate version can be reinforced with a cardboard interlayer. If you have a child, it will be more fun if you do not have to supervise them. Besides, the mask is much cheaper than buying a store-bought toy!
Construction paper
You can create a cute animal mask for your child by making one out of construction paper. Draw the animal’s face on half of the paper, and center it along the folded edge of the mask. Then, punch a hole in the center of the mask and tie an elastic around it. The mask is ready to be worn! Here are a few tips to make the mask look more realistic! You can also make your child wear the mask to act out fun Halloween poses!
After the construction paper is dry, add the embellishments. If you wish, you can also add a face or a mustache. Remember that the mask will be for a child, so use it carefully! Another way to make a squirrel mask is to decorate it with construction paper bags. Add stars or decorations to the mask, or use them as eye holes! Use colored construction paper to make the mask more durable.
Paper mache
To make a Halloween squirrel mask, you’ll need to find some flexible paper and measure your face. Then, draw your mask shape on the paper and fold it over a ball or bowl. Dip the paper into the mixture and let it dry overnight. Then, prime the surface with your paint colors and seal it with sealant. Finally, add your eyes and mouth and glue on the other details.
To create the face of the animal, you’ll need a few different kinds of newspaper. The first layer will be the nose. You can also make the eyes and mouth using a flat piece of card. Once you’ve made the basic shape, you can start to add embellishments, like feathers or sequins. You can also use black paint for the mouth and eye holes.
Stand-up paper squirrels
If you want to make a cute and sturdy paper animal, you can make a stand-up paper squirrel. To create a paper squirrel, first cut a square out of a sheet of paper. Then fold it in half along the crease in the middle. Fold the other side in half along the crease as well. Then, fold the square in half again along the crease. The end result will look like a head and body.
To make a squirrel, start by making a simple template. Use colored craft paper, scissors, and a hole punch to cut out the body and tail. Next, glue the head to the body. Make sure that the eyes and nose are positioned above the mouth line. Add the body and tail. If desired, decorate the body of the stand-up paper squirrel with glitter and polka dots. The finished product should look like a squirrel.
