Raccoon Paper Craft

This raccoon is a simple cut and paste paper craft that is fun for young children to make.  It makes a great project for preschool and kindergarten kids and works well for an animals, forest or letter R theme.  Check out the Action Raccoon Song and the Raccoon Song to go with this craft.
