How to Make a Fox Paper Craft for Kids
Making this paper fox is so easy! Just follow the simple step-by-step instructions below to create your own adorable fox craft.
Step 1
Download the fox craft printable template. Print page 1 on colored cardstock (we used orange) and page 2 on white cardstock.
Step 2
Color the fox’s nose black with a marker. Then, cut out all the template pieces.
Step 3
Start by gluing the white face piece onto the orange fox head.
Step 4
Next, make the ears by gluing the white inner ear pieces onto the matching orange outer ear pieces.
Step 5
Now, glue the ears to the back of the fox’s head. Position them evenly on both sides so they peek out from the top.
Step 6
Next, glue the eyes and nose onto the fox’s face.
Step 7
Next, glue the fox’s head to the top of the body piece. For an extra cute look, slightly tilt the head to one side as you glue it in place.
Step 8
Next, let’s get the tail ready. Glue the white tail tip onto the orange tail, lining up the edges neatly.
Step 9
Attach the tail to the body with a brad pin so it can move from side to side. If needed, an adult can use a craft knife to make a small hole in both pieces before inserting the brad.
Your adorable paper fox craft is now ready! Wasn’t that super easy? Kids will love moving the fox’s tail from side to side, adding a fun interactive touch to this cute woodland craft.
