Aren’t red foxes awesomely adorable? If you’re lucky, you might spot one bobbing through a field or walking down your street at night. Want to create some fox friends of your very own? Here’s how to make one out of a toilet paper roll!

Here’s what you need:

  • Scissors
  • Toilet paper roll
  • Pencil
  • Glue
  • Black, white and orange construction paper
  • TIP: If you don’t have construction paper, you can paint some scrap paper instead!

Here’s how you make it:

Step 1:

Wrap your toilet paper roll in orange construction paper. Glue it down so it stays in place.

  1. We didn’t have an empty toilet paper roll so we used an empty tin can instead and now have a little pencil container. My little Earth Ranger said it was fun :).
