Get your kids into the Fall mood with this cute paper plate squirrel craft with moving eyes!! We all know squirrels are so alert and always on the lookout and now kids can imitate this with the fun interactive craft.

When I ask my kids what they associate with Fall they say walks in the forest, orange/brown leaves, and chasing squirrels. They love the bushy tailed animal, so much so we have done an abundance of simple squirrel crafts this year.

Have an abundance of paper plates in your home, why not turn them into some paper plate animals
