Step 2: Crushing The Leaves

Tightly squeeze and grind the leaves so as to crush all the dried leaves. Keep crushing until you have tiny bits of the leaves. Make sure not to crush too much, we don’t want leaf powder!

Now, take the crushed leaves and sprinkle them all over the part where you have spread the glue. Make sure to spread them evenly enough, so as to fill the space and not let any white spots show. Crush more leaves if needed!

Step 4: Making The Squirrel

You will now start working on the squirrel. Pick up one big yellow leaf and carefully stick it on the paper using glue. Make sure to stick it in a slightly tilted position. This leaf will be the body of the squirrel.

Step 5: Making The Squirrel’s Face

Take a smaller yellow leaf and place it on the previous leaf in such a manner that the pointy side faces slightly downwards. The pointy side will be the mouth of the squirrel. Make sure to cover the tip of the first leaf with the second leaf.

Step 6: Making The Ears And Eyes Of The Squirrel

Next, pick up two tiny yellow leaves. These leaves will be the ears of your squirrel! Using glue stick them on the head of the squirrel, in such a way that the pointed part of the leaf is outwards. Now, stick a googly eye on the face of the squirrel. Your squirrel’s face is ready!

Step 7: Making The Squirrel’s Arm

Step 8: Making The Tail

You will now add a tail for the squirrel. Using the biggest leaf from your pile, stick it on the squirrel, such that the pointed end is facing outwards. Make sure it covers a bit of the squirrel’s body to make it look like a fluffy tail!

Step 9: Making The Legs Of The Squirrel
