Make your Own Pine Cone Animals [VIDEO]

The children will love making their very own adorable pine cone animals this Autumn! Follow our simple step-by-step guide below to create a wonderful woodland scene – brimming with all your favourite woodland pine cone animals.

How To Make Pine Cone Animals:

Art materials you will need:

• Scissors
• Felt (orange, white and black felt works great for your fox)
• PVA Glue
• Wiggly Eyes
• Pine Cone

How to make autumnal pine cone animals:

1. Choose your favourite woodland creature (fox, owl, hedgehog, bear, deer, moose, raccoon…)
2. Using a pair of sharp scissors (grown-ups will need to help), cut out the felt into the shape of your chosen woodland animal’s face. You can use a template to help! (Hint: a heart shape works well for a fox, or a simple triangle makes a great hedgehog).
3. Next, using a small dab of PVA glue, attach the wiggly eyes to your cut-out face.
4. Once dry, carefully glue your felt face to the pine cone.
5. Allow the PVA glue to dry.
6. Don’t forget to cut out and attach your accent pieces as well – tails, noses, paws and ears… and voila, you have your first woodland pine cone animal!

Get creative and try lots of different pine cone animals to create a wonderful woodland scene!
