How To Make a Woodland Animal Wreath
Step 1: Print & Color
Print & Color
Print out the free woodland animal template and let your kids color the animals, leaves, mushrooms, and acorns. Encourage them to use warm fall colors like reds, oranges, and yellows, or get creative with their own color schemes.
Cut the Pieces
Once everything is colored, carefully cut out all the shapes. Younger kids may need a little help with the smaller details.
Step 2: Prepare the Wreath Base
Cut the center out of a paper plate to form a wreath shape. Paint the plate brown and set it aside to dry.
Step 3: Arrange & Attach
When the wreath base is dry, arrange the woodland animals and fall pieces around the circle. Once you’re happy with the placement, glue or tape them down.
Step 4: Add a Ribbon
Attach a ribbon or yarn loop at the top if you’d like to hang the wreath.
Crafty Tips
- For a sturdier wreath, glue the paper plate onto cardboard before adding the animals.
- Try using double-sided tape instead of glue for quicker results. Tape is mess-free, holds instantly, and makes this a simple ‘stick and go’ project
- Print the template on cardstock if you want the animals to hold up better for display.
- Laminate the animals before gluing to your wreath to reuse them year after year.
This Woodland Animal Fall Wreath is such a sweet way for kids to celebrate the season. Whether you’re a teacher looking for a classroom project or a mom planning a cozy afternoon craft, this wreath will bring a little woodland magic into your fall days. 🍁🦊🦔
