10 Crafty Ideas To Do With Squirrel Coloring Pages
As well as being fantastic fictional characters, squirrels are hilarious to watch.
Are you looking for fun, cheap, and simple things to do with all the squirrel coloring pages your child has given you?
1. A simple decoration for the desk
After cutting out the squirrel from the completed page, have the youngster laminate an empty piece of bathroom tissue cardboard to create this entertaining activity.
Cut the head off of the body and glue it to the top of the roll over a cotton batting piece. This makes it look like it’s in 3D.
So the squirrel’s tail doesn’t stick out of the roll, don’t glue it down. Instead, let the child decorate with brown tissue paper tufts.
By adding wiggle eyes and two candy corns for teeth, you can use this adorable squirrel as a pencil holder.
2. A Tree-Dwelling Squirrel
For this fun project, each kid starts by cutting out the shape of his or her hand and arm from brown construction paper.
This will make the shape look like a tree branch when you lay it flat on the bottom of a blue posterboard.
Green sheet paper rolls work wonderfully as leaves. You can cut out the squirrel from the page and place it on the “branch” to create a unique and captivating picture.
3. A Glass-Eyed Squirrel
If you want to give your child something different to do with their colored pages when they’re done, try making this awesome stained glass squirrel.
You should cut out the squirrel, color it, and then glue it to a brown or green background.
To give the squirrel a 3D appearance, use black pipe cleaners to create the edges.
Then, make the squirrel’s tail look like a piece of stained glass by adding tufts of different colored tissue paper or confetti. This strange piece of art can be put anywhere!
4. Design your Phone
Any kid can do this project, and it’s enjoyable and easy. Have the child color a picture of a squirrel with many nuts and acorns.
Apply contact paper to the page and cut out items. First, glue a pipe cleaner across the bottom of the squirrel shape so that it remains flat.
Make holes in the nuts, and use string to hang them from the pipe cleaner.
Add another hole to the top of the squirrel shape, and then hang this adorable craft up like a mobile.
5. Fun in the Classroom
Encourage the children to collaborate on creating a tree on a large piece of craft paper as part of this wonderful classroom activity.
They can adorn it with leaves and acorns from the fall season, or they can use the green leaves from the spring and summer seasons.
After drawing the squirrels, they can cut them out of the pages and stick them on different tree branches to create a great mural.
6. Paper Cup Squirrels That Are Easy
The first step in making these adorable squirrel ornaments is to give each child an upside-down styrofoam cup and have them laminate it with cuttings from the squirrel coloring pages.
To make it look better, put red pom-poms on the nose and feet, and brown pom-poms on the face.
After that, instruct the youngsters to cut brown construction paper into strips and curl the ends of the strips. Glue the flat ends to the bottom of the cups to create super-sized tails.
Place these adorable squirrels wherever you want.
7. Make a Nut Cup
For this fun cup craft, have the child draw and cut out a squirrel with big teeth. Put on eyes that move, as well as a big black pom-pom for the nose.
Then, to make it look like the squirrel is holding the cup, set a transparent plastic cup in front of the cutout and glue the squirrel’s arms around it.
Putting real nuts in the cup makes it a unique table decoration.
8. Unique Crafts with Paper Plates
Children can make this one-of-a-kind project by drawing a tree on a white paper plate and cutting out small leaves to put on the branches.
Once you’ve completed the page, cut out a squirrel and a nut. Mount the squirrel on the tree’s base with glue, and the acorn on the end of a branch.
For the squirrel to look like he’s interested in the nut, you should give him wiggle eyes that are turned up.
You can hang this adorable craft from a window or front door by punching a hole in the top.
9. A Box with Squirrels
Give each kid an old shoe box full of green tissue paper to use for this really fun project. After that, tell them to get three or four pine cones.
When the child finishes, have them cut out the same number of squirrels from each colored page.
You should leave a small tab at the bottom of each shape so you can glue it inside the box to make it stand up.
Put a pinecone next to each squirrel in the box to make it look like the pinecones are their tails! You can put this adorable outfit anywhere.
10. Art by Acorn
For the first part of this adorable project, have each child draw a big acorn on a board. Add brown felt, pipe cleaners, or thick paint to the top to make it look nicer.
After coloring and cutting out the squirrel, glue it to the bottom part of the acorn.
This adorable craft will stand out with wiggle eyes, a pom-pom nose, and white Tic Tacs for teeth.
