Activities to Do With Fox Coloring Pages
Don’t let the fun stop once the coloring is done. Turn those finished pages into creative projects with these woodland-themed ideas.
Create a Woodland Diorama
Transform a shoe box into a 3D forest. Color several realistic fox pages, then carefully cut out the foxes. Leave a small tab at the bottom of the feet to fold back so the foxes can stand up. Glue them inside a box painted with trees and grass to create your own nature scene.
Fox Face Masks
Use the “Detailed Fox Face” or “Simple Fox” coloring pages to make wearable art. Color the face vibrant orange, then glue the page onto a piece of cardstock for durability. Cut out the shape of the fox head and carefully cut out holes for the eyes. Punch small holes on the sides, attach a string, and you have a custom mask.
Fuzzy Texture Art
Add a tactile element to your artwork. After coloring the body of the fox, use white cotton balls to make the tail tip and chest fluffy. Simply pull the cotton apart slightly to flatten it, apply glue to the white areas of the fox, and press the cotton down. This works perfectly for the Arctic Fox pages.
Popsicle Stick Puppets
Select the smaller fox images or the “Cute Fox Sitting” page. Color them in, cut them out, and tape a popsicle stick to the back of each one. Kids can put on a puppet show behind the sofa, inventing stories about the fox’s adventures in the forest.
Educational Flashcards
Turn coloring time into learning time. On the back of the “Realistic Forest Fox” or “Fennec Fox” pages, write down interesting facts. For example, note that Fennec foxes have large ears to dissipate heat. This combines art with biology and reading practice.
FAQs
What Colors Do I Need for a Realistic Fox?
For a standard Red Fox, you will need various shades of orange, reddish-brown, white (for the chest, chin, and tip of the tail), and black (for the ears and legs). However, foxes come in many colors, so feel free to use greys, silvers, or pure white for Arctic foxes.
What Is a Group of Foxes Called?
A group of foxes is typically called a “skulk” or a “leash.” These are fun words to add to your artwork if you are making a poster or a greeting card featuring multiple foxes.
Can I Use Watercolors on These Pages?
Yes, you can use watercolors, but it is best to print the pages on heavy cardstock or watercolor paper. Standard printer paper is too thin and will wrinkle or tear when wet.
Do Foxes Change Color?
Some do; the Arctic Fox is famous for changing its coat from brown in the summer to bright white in the winter to blend in with the snow. This is a great reason to print two copies of the same page and color them in different seasonal palettes.
What Is a Baby Fox Called?
A baby fox is called a “kit,” “cub,” or “pup.” They are born blind and rely on their parents for protection, making the “Baby Fox’s First Steps” coloring page a cute representation of their early life.
