Instructions
- Apply a base coat of white paint to the cup. Leave it to dry and then paint the cup orange. If you
would like your squirrel to have a white face, leave a small section of the cup unpainted - Cut a piece of brown construction paper for the tail. The size is up to you! We cut one that was
approximately the same width as our cup - Roll the construction paper vertically all the way down. Afterwards, you can let it unfurl! Leave this
piece to the side for now - From your original (uncurled) sheet of brown construction paper, cut 2 triangles for the ears
- Cut 2 smaller triangles with the piece of white paper (these triangles should be smaller than the
brown triangles, as they will fit inside!) - Use the glue stick to glue the white triangles to the brown triangles
- Once the paint has dried, you can begin to assemble your squirrel! Use a glue stick to attach the ears
and googly eyes to the cup - Use the glue gun to stick the pom pom on the cup. This will represent the nose of the squirrel. You
can also cut a nose out of construction paper, or draw one on with a sharpie! - Use the sharpie to draw a mouth. Is your squirrel happy? Surprised? Excited?
- Cut a pair of feet with brown construction paper and use the sharpie to draw the claws of the squirrel
- Use the glue stick to attach the feet to the bottom of the cup
- Tape the tail on the back of the squirrel using the scotch tape and your squirrel is ready!
