Directions
Download the fox template, print and cut out the pieces.

Place the orange top part of the fox head on the main white piece and glue in place. Glue the nose just above the printed mouth, half way on the orange and white paper.


Glue the eyes on either side of the nose, on the white part of the face.

Use the circle punch or scissors to cut out two small circles from the pink paper and glue them outside the fox’s eyes.
Glue the fox’s head onto the fox body.

Make the ears by gluing the white inner ear to the orange outer ear. Take the completed ears and glue them to the back of the fox’s head.

First, we love starting new units with related books. Here are a few fall themed children’s books:
After reading some library books, why not make this falling leaf sensory bottle? It’s great for helping kids calm down and it’s mesmerizing too!
You could also make a fun fall themed sensory bin like this one.

Next work on some math concepts and fine motor skills with these printable fall pattern block mats.
Finish it off with these forest animal coloring pages and this fox craft and you’re set!

Good morning. This is an adorable looking fox, I would love to use it with my students. I asked for the free template but unfortunately it wasn´t delivered to the email address I included, I tried one more time using a different email address and that one didn´t get delivered either. Any suggestions?

Hi! I just checked your email and it’s listed as “unconfirmed” which means you didn’t click the link in the first email. If you didn’t see it, my best guess is it landed in your junk folder. If you can check that folder for my email (sam@simpleeverydaymom.com) and click the link, you’ll be set ◡̈
