Groundhog Burrow Craft

Supplies Needed; Printout of Groundhog Template (below), white paper cup, green paint, crayons, green construction paper, popsicle stick, scissors and glue.

Directions; Paint cup green, and set aside to dry. Cut out groundhog template, and color any desired color. Cut a strip of green construction paper about 1" in width and cut 1/2" dashes into it, to create the grass. Glue your groundhog to the top of your popsicle stick and allow to dry. Once your cup is dry, turn it upside down and cut a short line in the bottom of the cup, just wide enough for the popsicle stick to fit through. Glue the grass to the edge of the cup, and insert the groundhog stick.
