"Pop Up" Groundhog Craft

Laura also added her own variation to our Groundhog's Day craft:

"Just a quick suggestion for the Groundhog craft, last year we glued the groundhog head to a popsicle stick and covered the toilet paper role with green paper, then we made the groundhog 'pop' out of his hole". 

What a cute idea Laura!  Thanks for sharing.

Materials:

  • a tp roll,
  • popsicle stick (or pencil),
  • printer,
  • glue,
  • scissors,
  • something to colour with
  • paper
Pop Up Groundhog

Instructions:

  • Print out the template of choice. 
     
  • Colour the pieces as appropriate and cut them out.
     
  • Glue the large rectangular piece around the toilet paper tube.
     
  • Glue the head onto the popsicle stick
      
  • The popsicle stick may not be long enough in which case you can shorten the paper tube or you could choose to use a pencil instead of the popsicle stick.
     

Templates:  

  • Close the template window after printing to return to this screen. 
       
  • Set page margins to zero if you have trouble fitting the template on one page (FILE, PAGE SETUP or FILE, PRINTER SETUP in most browsers).
