third story Hattie and the Fox, This Little Pirate
Craft: Fox Face
Materials: Fox head cut
from red construction paper, white nose construction paper, black circles and
triangles, coffee stir sticks, glue, googly eyes.
Assemble fox head- head, white nose, 2 triangles, circle,
coffee stir stick, 2 googly eyes, and glue together.
I used the mask template from http://www.activityvillage.co.uk/fantastic_mr_fox_mask.htm. I did not cut holes for eyes or punch holes for strings. Instead of pipecleaners I used a coffee stir stick and snipped it lengthwise into three whiskers and stapled it on.
