It's perfect for forest and woodland animal units, fall themed activities, nature and wildlife lessons, or just a trash panda good time at home or in the classroom.

Using our free printable template, kids can paint, cut, and glue their way to an irresistibly cute raccoon — complete with a grey painted paper plate head, a bold black eye mask, pointed ears with inner detail, a dark triangular nose, big expressive eyes, rosy pink button cheeks, and a sweet little smile — while building fine motor and creative skills.

Comes with both a full cut and glue version AND a no glue color and cut option for younger kids or quick classroom activities!
