Little Raccoon in the Forest

This post may contain affiliate or advertiser links. Read my full disclosure policy .

Here is a fun and easy craft for you to do this week with our forest unit.  You will need to do a little prep work ahead of time, but the kiddos will have fun with it!

Materials:

  • Green Paint
  • Construction Paper
  • Raccoon Heart Template
  • Glue
  • Markers
  • Scissors

Directions:

  • Draw the trunks of several trees on your construction paper.  We chose light blue so that the background would look a little like a sky.
  • Using the green paint, let your child put their handprints at the top of the tree trunks to make a handprint forest.  Your kiddo can also just mess the paint around to make leaves, like E did with a couple of them. 
  • As your paint dries on you forest, help your tot put together the raccoon heart craft. 
  • When your raccoon is finished you can paste him below the trees of your handprint forest where he can live quite happily.

Additional ideas:

  • Place a moon in the sky above your forest and talk about how raccoons are asleep in the day, and awake in the night.
  • Read a book that features a raccoon and do this as a stART activity. 

E loved to put the raccoon together, and before bed for the past few nights she has gone to the kitchen to tell her raccoon good-night!  Its too cute!
