DIY Woodland Autumn Crafts The Racoon, Deer And Fox
I love Autumn crafts especially when they are simple autumn crafts to make and easy for any age.
Autumn in the UK or fall (as it’s know in the USA) is my favourite season of the year. I love to visit the woods and enjoy autumn activities with the family.
Today on The Inspiration Edit we have some super cute and adorable Autumn art ideas for teachers to make with preschool or older kids and this is also a fun autumn activity to do the home.
Painting eggs can be really fun. I really hope you love this tutorial.

How To Create These Woodland Animal Autumn Crafts
Paint the wooden eggs brown, grey and red/orange. This will take 2-3 coats. Allow the paint to dry completely.
Use a pencil to draw on facial details and a stomach patch.
Paint the facial details and stomach patch with complementing colours. Allow the paint to dry completely.
Use a black paint marker or black permanent marker and draw noses onto each egg.
Use a pencil to draw on sassy lashes.
Once you are satisfied with how they look, trace over them with a black paint marker or a black permanent marker.
Download the woodland animal autumn template. Print and cut the template out.
Trace the template onto coloured cardstock. Cut ears for each animal including the inner pink portion of the ear from coloured cardstock.
Glue the ears together. Cut antlers from brown cardstock. Glue the ears and antlers onto the top of the eggs with hot glue.
Cut the tails out of the coloured cardstock. I think these Autumn Crafts are so super cute. Don’t you?
Paint details onto each tail with complementing colours.
