Squirrel Fall Wreath Craft for Kids

When I think of Autumn I think of pretty colors and crafting. My Squirrel Fall wreath craft for kids is such an awesome activity for little ones wanting to make some pretty decor for their bedrooms.

My kids love finding squirrels in the forest foraging for food. Sometimes we bring them nuts but they run away as soon as they hear any footprints coming in their direction. 

I love the hustle and bustle of wildlife on my nature walks with the kids. We love watching the squirrels climbing high in the trees to stay safe. 

For Fall we normally do leaf crafts like my leaf monsters or my paper plate fall tree craft. Just recently I decided to do a series on Fall animals to help teach my kids about the sorts of things you can expect to see in the local forest. I have an adorable Red Fox craft coming soon so watch out for that!

I do plan on adding some more lovely squirrel crafts for kids soon so keep reading!! This time I thought we would make a paper wreath highlighting some of our favorite things from Autumn. 

Paper wreath crafts are an awesome way to decorate your home this Fall. Kids can easily follow my craft procedure and turn some colored craft papers and my free template into a pretty Squirrel wreath complete with leaves and acorns.
