Making Stand-Up Paper Squirrels

To make stand-up paper squirrels, you will need to first choose which squirrel printable you want...a black squirrel, a white squirrel to color in yourself, or a tan squirrel. Once you choose a squirrel page to print, then you need to cut out the squirrel's body and head. Cut a slit in the body where it shows you to. Fold the squirrel on dotted lines...bend and push the squirrel's tail through the slit to keep the squirrel together. Cut a slit for the head to fit into or glue it in place. You now have a squirrel that stands on his own.

Drawing Cartoon Squirrels with Circles

It might surprise you, but squirrels can be made from simple shapes. To show you this, cut out a big circle and a smaller circle. You can use buttons or coins to help you draw nice circles. Put the smaller circle on the top of the larger circle and paste it down like this. The picture above (#4) is on a slant towards the left, but you don't need to. You can then draw a circle for each ear...2 ovals for the hands...and one oval for the bottom foot. For the eye you can draw an oval ...and a letter 'v' for the nose. For the tail. draw a letter 'c'...and then draw downwards curved lines from the top down. You now have a squirrel.
