Paper Plate Fantastic Mr. Fox Craft

Artsy Craftsy Mom | This week, we made a Paper Plate Fantastic Mr. Fox Craft – perfect for World Book day, when you are enjoying the book or celebrating Roald Dahl day! Easy to cut and assemble. Frugal , fun puppet to make at home. Also goes with books - The Fox in the Dark, Bedtime in the Meadow (Padded Board Books) , Fox in Socks ,What Does the Fox Say?, I Love You Because You're You, Red Riding Hood

I was inspired to make this as a puppet for Miss P after seeing this gorgeous Artic Fox craft by Rachel from I Heart Crafty Things.

Materials to make the Paper Plate Fantastic Mr. Fox Craft

Paper Plate Mr Fox - roald dahl-6750

  • Orange paper plate
  • Scissors
  • Glue gun
  • Black pom pom
  • A pair of googly eyes
  • Cream hand made paper or craft paper

 

Directions

Paper Plate Mr Fox - roald dahl-6755

Cut the Orange paper plate in half. One half forms the body and we can make the ears, face, legs and tail out of the other half. From one half, cut out a triangle that will form the fox’s face. Cut out 4 legs, one tail & 2 small triangles that will form the ears.

Cut out a triangle from the cardstock ( you can use ordinary craft paper too) . Use the paper plate cutout as a template and then make zig zag cuts at the top to form its furry nose. Using glue gun, stick in place. Let dry.

Complete the face of the Fox by sticking a black Pom Pom for its nose, 2 googly eyes and ears. We added cream cardstock for the ears too. Felt would have been nicer, but we didn’t have any.
