In preparation for Groundhog's day we've been playing a lot with shadows in our house, so it was only fitting to make a craft that included a shadow. Our daughter instantly loved this Groundhog's day craft. She was hooked from the point where I told her to paint the groundhog brown using a toothbrush! Using a toothbrush was a fun twist to a very simple craft and it created more realistic fur. Add the groundhog's shadow using a brad and your child can determine if the groundhog will see his shadow or not. This is a simple Groundhog's day craft for kids that even younger children will really enjoy.

What You'll Need

Groundhog Template
Brown paint
Black construction paper
Lightweight cardboard (old cereal boxes work well here)
Toothbrush
Scissors
Glue stick
Brass brad
Optional small hole punch

STEP 1

Print our groundhog template. Cut it out and then glue it to a piece of lightweight cardboard to give it some strength.

STEP 2

Let your child paint the groundhog brown with a toothbrush.

STEP 3

Once the groundhog is dry, cut it out of the cardboard piece.

STEP 4

Print the template out again. Cut it out and trace it onto a piece of black construction paper and cut that out as well. The black groundhog piece will be his shadow.
