Let’s Make a Rocking Fox!
Step 1: Color in Fox Template
Kids can use a variety of coloring mediums such as crayons, markers, colored pencils, and watercolors to creatively fill in the rocking fox template.
Select a favorite medium and color in the fox’s head, body, legs and tail in a lovely orange color, adding light and dark areas to add depth to its features.
Step 2: Carefully cut out the fox body parts.
Step 3: Fold the fox’s body in half.
The fox’s body produces the rocking feature.
Step 4: Glue the fox’s head to the front of the body.
The fox’s head needs to be positioned onto one of the corners of the body. A good measure is make sure the smile is inline with black body outline.
Step 5: Glue the fox’s tail onto the opposite corner.
Step 6: Glue the front and back legs onto the fox’s body.
The back leg needs to be angled parallel to the tail, with the top of the leg slightly overlapping the tail ( as shown in the image).
The front leg need to be angled parallel to the fox’s head.
Step 7: Glue the second pair of legs onto the other side of the fox’s body.
To enhance the appearance of the fox’s running, offset the second pair of legs.
Through the process of coloring, cutting, sticking, and assembling, children have not only created a charming rocking fox but have also given their fine motor skills a thorough work out!
