Let’s Color the Pop-up Fox !
Step 1: Creatively color in the pop-up fox craft template.
Kids can use a variety of coloring mediums such as crayons, markers, colored pencils, and watercolors to creatively fill in the woodland backdrop and fox.
The woodland-themed fox design encourages children to hone their coloring skills, whether they are perfecting their fine motor skills and pencil grip or experimenting with color blending.
Step 2: Carefully cut out the template elements.
Cut out the white space that separates the grassy tabs.
Step 3: Fold the grassy tabs towards the tree backdrop.
Use the sold black line between the woodland scene and grassy area for guidance.
Step 4: Apply a spread of glue to grassy tab edge.
Step 5: Gently fold the tabs round to join.
This simple fold will encourage the woodland area to pop into a 3D backdrop for the fox.
Step 6: Fold the fox’s pop-up support piece into a rectangular prism.
Fold along each of the black lines and apply glue to the adjoining tabs to create the prism shape.
Step 7: Glue one side of the prism to the back of the fox.
Next, apply a spread of glue to the bottom side of the prism.
Step 8: Affix the fox within the pop-up woodland backdrop.
