These Wonderful Woodland Animal Crafts for Fall are perfect for the season, especially for little animal lovers! Have fun with foxes, owls & more!

When you mention woodlands, many people think they are equivalent to forests, which are also commonly referred to as the ‘woods’. However, woodlands aren’t as dense as jungles or forests, but they are denser than grasslands – a best-of-both-worlds kind of situation!

This makes the woodlands an ideal home for many animals since they get enough sunlight and space to move around, while also being able to find places to build their homes. It’s not surprising then, that the animals most found in woodland areas are bears, foxes, raccoons, deer, chipmunks, and owls. 

Since woodlands aren’t exactly jungles, it’s not uncommon to spot these animals when you move slightly outside city limits. Now even if you haven’t spotted any of them, don’t worry – these cute woodland animal crafts will more than make up for it!
