Forest Animal Name Craft

This woodland animal activity gives kids a chance to make a cute fox that’s spelling out their name. Each leaf has a letter of their name that they will use letter recognition skills to put the leaves in the correct order to spell it out.

Kids will get to flex their hand muscles and develop their scissor control cutting out all the pieces. They’ll also work on fine motor control and hand-eye coordination as they put their fox together.

Before you get started, type your child’s name on the leaves in the editable template. Print everything out, grab some scissors, glue, and colored paper to watch your kids create a personalized fox keepsake they’ll be proud to display.

Take the orange head piece and glue the cream mouth piece at the bottom.

Pin

Find the two cream inner ear pieces and glue them into the center of each orange ear.

Pin

Glue the black oval nose right in the center, above the mouth. Now it’s starting to look like a real little fox!

Pin

Then, grab the eyes and glue them just above the nose.

Pin

Let’s add the cute factor! Grab the two pink cheeks and glue them right underneath the eyes. Your fox is now officially adorable.

Pin

Take the orange body piece and glue it right underneath the head to complete the fox’s little torso.

Pin

Grab the brown burrow base and the black arch-shaped burrow hole. Glue the black piece right in the center of the brown one. This is the cozy little den where your fox is going to peek out from.

Pin

Now let’s add that fluffy tail! Grab the orange tail and glue it onto the left side of the burrow.

Pin

Then, take the cream tip and stick it right at the end of the tail.

Pin

Time to tuck your fox into its cozy den! Grab the finished fox and glue it onto the center of the burrow. Make sure the tail lines up on the side and the face is peeking out front. Looking extra cute now!

Pin

Now for the fun part! Personalize it by grabbing the green leaves with letters and helping your kid spell out their name. Glue each leaf in a row below the fox, like it’s sitting proudly on its very own leafy name mat.

Pin

Lastly, find the two orange paws and glue them onto the front of the fox’s body. It should look like the fox is resting its paws just above where the name leaves will go.
