Materials

  • Paper plates
  • Orange paint
  • Pencil
  • Glue stick
  • Tape
  • Colored cardstock cream/white, pink, orange and black
  • Fox template download form located at the end of this post

Instructions

  • Download the free fox template, print, and cut out the pieces.
  • Paint the paper plate orange and let it dry completely before moving on. Decide whether you want the fox's ears to be made from a paper plate or cardstock. If you're going to make the ears from a paper plate, paint a second paper plate orange.
  • Place the fox's head template on top of the dried paper plate, trace with a pencil, and cut out.
  • Glue the fox face onto the bottom half of the paper plate, lining the edges up.
  • Place the fox's nose at the bottom of the white face, in between the eyes and glue in place.
  • Glue the pink cheeks on either side of the face, just below the eyes. If you don't want to use cardstock, you can always swap it out for a pink marker/crayon and draw in the cheeks.
  • Alight the straight edge of the inner ear to the straight edge of the outer ear and glue in place. Repeat for both sides.
  • Take a piece of double-sided tape or loop a piece of regular tape and place at the bottom of the fox ears. Position the ears along the top, outside of the paper plate, and secure in place.
