Materials
Instructions
Step 1: Find what you need
- Gather your supplies and materials.
Step 2: Print the free templates
- Print our free groundhog pop-up craft templates on cardstock. We printed our coloured-in groundhog on white cardstock and the base on green, but you can also print the black and white versions and colour them in yourself!
- Cut the green template. The top part will be the base of the craft. The smaller piece will be the grass.
Step 3: Make the grass
- Fold the smaller piece in half lengthwise. Cut a pointed fringe on the straight edge (without the "v") to look like blades of grass.
- Fold the grass on the dotted line.
- Unfold and add glue tape to the thin part (with the "v").
- Attach the grass to the base along the front line.
Step 4: Add the groundhog
- Cut around the groundhog template.
- Fold the den opening (the dirt mound) along the dotted line, then fold in half.
- Add glue tape to the white section of the den opening. Attach it to the base at the middle line.
- Fold along the dotted line on the bottom of the groundhog. Fold the groundhog in half.
- Add glue tape to the white section on the groundhog. Attach it to the base at the back line.
- Fold the base in half. Make sure the grass goes down as you fold the paper.
- Open the paper to see the groundhog pop up!Your groundhog pop-up craft is complete!
