Sharing is caring!

This Mother’s Day Fox Card for Kids is too cute for words! It features a sweet Mama Fox and her little baby cub, locked together in a hug!

We know that mothers will go to any length to protect their children, and we often hear stories that reflect this. One story is about a baby who got stuck in a wire trap for two weeks – but survived because her mother brought her food every single day. 

Yes, that’s a horrible accident for a baby, but the baby here was a fox cub – and her mother was a sprightly vixen who refused to let her baby die! 

Yes, foxes are excellent parents, especially Mama foxes. A female fox stays underground in a den for many months, caring for her pups till they are capable of venturing out into the wild. That’s how dedicated they are!

Vixens have 4-6 cubs at once, usually around spring. Since this is immediately followed by Mother’s Day, we can’t think of a better icon for a Mother’s Day card – which brings us to today’s adorable craft!

Super Cute Mother’s Day Fox Card for Kids

Supplies required:

• Thick cardstock
• Colored craft papers
• Pencil
• A pair of scissors
• Craft glue
• Sharpies

How to make the Mother’s Day Fox Card:

1. Download the Mother’s Day fox card template. The template includes patterns for a mother fox, fox cub, and grass. The foxes’ parts include ears,  head, face, body, tail and tail tip. The mother and baby foxes have the same pieces, but the mother’s are larger. 

2. Trace the template patterns on the craft papers of the appropriate colors and cut them out. You can use orange or brown for the fox, pink for the ears and white for the faces and tail tip. 

3. Let’s start our Mother’s Day fox card with the Mama fox. Stick the face on the head, on the lower half. Stick the pink ears on the right spots on the head. 

4. Attach the head on top of the body of the mother fox. 

5. Foxes use their tails for balance as well as to stay warm. However, the Mama fox of our Mother’s Day fox card uses her tail for another purpose! Get it ready by sticking the tail tip at the pointy end of the tail. 

6. Apply some glue to the narrow end of the tail and attach it to the body of the fox, sticking to the back so that the tip of the tail comes to the front of the body as shown below.

7. Take out your black Sharpie or marker and draw some eyes, a nose and a mouth on the face of the fox. Use a pink Sharpie to shade in some cheeks. There you go – the first character of the Mother’s Day fox card is ready!

8. Let’s move on to the baby fox. Stick the face to the lower half of the head. 

9. Attach the head on the top of the body and use a black Sharpie or marker to draw eyes, a nose and a mouth. Use a pink Sharpie to draw blush spots on the cheeks. Baby fox is ready!

10. Now for the best part – handing Mama her baby! Insert the fox cub between the body and tail layers of the Mama fox. Let’s put the Mama-baby combo aside for now.

11. Take your cardstock and fold it to make a card shape. If you like, you can paint the background light blue or leave it as it is.

12. Apply glue along the bottom straight edge of the grass and stick it to the bottom edge of the card. Make sure the top edge of the grass is left unstuck.

13. Insert the mother and baby inside the grass layer. Use glue to secure the fox duo in place. 

14. Cut out some small hearts from red or pink craft paper and stick them around the foxes. There you go – your Mother’s Day fox card is done!

Just how adorable is this Mother’s Day fox card? We can’t get over the smile on Mama fox’s face – she looks simultaneously proud and happy! This card is easy enough for young kids too, and Mom is sure to love seeing this cute little card!
