Fox Learning Activities for Kids

I don’t know why I think of foxes as being a fall animal, but here we are, so let’s explore some learning activities and crafts to do with foxes.

By the way if you’re looking for arctic fox materials, we’ve got you covered for that, too.

Start out with some fun facts about the red fox from Our Lively Adventures. If you want to learn more about the different kinds of foxes, check out these pages from National Geographic Kids:

There are actually 24 different species of fox, and you can learn a little about all of them from Trillium Montessori. (The fennec is my favorite!)

Grab a free fox lapbook printable from Homeschool Share that includes a ton of great information for kids. There’s a mini book to read, information about types of foxes and predator vs. prey, plus information about where foxes live, how they communicate and why their tails are so special.

Mudpies and Makeup has a cute set of free printables with foxes, including fact cards, clip counting cards, fox rhymes, a puzzle, size sorting and more. These are a great way to learn a little about foxes and also do some basic activities with foxes as the theme.

If you’re able to pay for resources, this fox fact booklet from The Breezy Teacher is cute and includes a printable fox mask craft. I also like the set from Montessori Nature, which includes the parts of a fox, life cycle, three-part cards, learning booklets and more.

I love this fox ornament made out of a walnut shell! This would be a good craft for older kids and it makes a great holiday ornament for the tree. You can get the instructions from Red Ted Art.

Kid Minds has a cute fox activity sheet printable that includes connect the dots, a maze, trace the letter f, find the letter and more. This is a good time filler at home, in the classroom or when you’re out to eat. Nature Inspired Learning has some nice realistic looking fox coloring pages as well.
