Materials

  • Colored cardstock or construction paper
  • Scissors
  • Glue

Instructions

  • Download the groundhog template, print, and cut the pieces out you need.
  • Begin to make the groundhog by gluing the nose to the top and middle of the mouth piece.
  • Take the tooth and glue it to the bottom and back of the mouth.
  • Next, glue the eyes in the middle of the head, one on each side.
  • Glue the completed nose/mouth in the middle of the head, slightly overlapping the bottom of the eyes.
  • Place the belly in the middle of the body and glue it in place.
  • Optionally: Glue the arms on both sides of the belly. If your child's hands are large enough, it will cover them completely, so you can leave them off if you prefer.
  • Now, trace your child's hand two times on a piece of green paper. Cut each handprint out.
  • Finish up by placing the handprints at the bottom of the groundhog's body, with the fingers pointed up. This will be the grass. Glue them both in place.
