This adorable woodland animal craft featuring an owl, fox and hedgehog makes a cute recycled fall craft for kids!
Did you catch our DIY woodland animal costumes for Halloween this year? We got such a positive reaction from them that we decided to recreate them in miniature craft size!
The concept is the same, using just paper, cardboard, scissors and glue to make this cute recycled craft.
We used the same color combinations as the costumes; rainbow paper quills for the hedgehog, paper hearts for the owl and triangles for the fox.
Can you make these woodland animal creatures any size?
Yes of course you can! Our costumes are quite large as you can see, but this smaller, more manageable craft size fits in the palm of your hands.
Do you have a template for this fox, hedgehog, and owl craft?
No we don’t because there really isn’t any size requirements to follow. The cardboard animal shapes are easy to cut out as simple shapes. The size of your paper “fur” feathers or quills will depend on the size of your cardboard cut-outs so we opted here to leave it to your imagination!
However this is an easy craft to follow because we stuck to basic shapes like cones, hearts and triangles.
How to make this Cardboard Owl, Fox, Hedgehog Woodland Animal Craft – Materials:
- colored cardstock paper

Step 1. Cut out two round white circles for the eyes and two smaller black circles. Glue the black onto the white circles. Glue eyes to cardboard owl. Cut a small triangle for the nose. Glue that on as well.
Step 2. Cut out small hearts in orange, yellow and blue. Fold the hearts in half and glue to the body of the owl.
Step 3. Add one blue and one yellow feather on each side.
For the Hedgehog:
Step 1. Cut out a triangle shape but with the to cut straight. Use that as template to trace onto various colored papers (red, orange, yellow, green blue, purple). Roll into a cone and glue or tape shut.
Step 2. Glue your rainbow quills to the cardboard hedgehog.
Step 3. Cut out a small eye, mouth (add a pink paper tongue), feet, ear and nose out of dark brown paper. Glue features on hedgehog face.
For the Fox:
Step 1. Cut small orange triangles. Longer ones for the body, smaller ones for the tail.
Step 2. With white paper, cut out a left and right oval for the face. Add two small dark brown circles for the eyes.
Step 3. Cut out two orange triangles for the ears, and add smaller dark brown triangles for the inner ears.
Step 4. Cut out the white end part of the tail.
Step 5. Cut out two small oval-ish shapes for the feet.
