3D Squirrel Paper Craft
This is a cute, simple paper craft that results in a 3D ornament
you can hang around the room.

- something to color with (if using the B&W version)
- hole punch
- string, thread, ribbon or wool
- Optional: thin cardboard

|
Instructions:
- Print template of choice and color as necessary
- Cut out the template pieces.
- Fold each piece in half (on the dashed line) so they are all colored
on both the front and the back.
- Optional: Put thin cardboard in between the front and back
of each template piece to make them a bit sturdier.
- Glue together so the pieces are colored on both sides.
-
3D Acorns:
- Cut on one of the dotted lines of each template piece (only
cut as far as the dotted line goes, not all the way through the
piece).
- Slide the pieces together, top to bottom
- Glue a piece of ribbon, string or thread onto the top (or hole
punch a small hole and tie a ribbon through). If you hole
punch, do it through the acorn that is cut from the bottom, not
the one that is cut from the top.
-
Squirrel:
- punch three holes in the bottom of the squirrel template (one
in the center and one on each edge)
- string one acorn through each of the holes so it hangs down
from the hive
- punch a hole in the bottom of the middle acorn and string the
fourth acorn through that hole
-
Optional:
- print as many copies of template 3 as you like and keep adding
acorns to the bottom of the other acorns and the squirrel to make
a very busy fall scene!
- 'numbers practice' -- count the acorns
- 'colors practice' -- color the background of each bee a different
color.
