You'll need:

  • cardboard
  • orange, white and black paint
  • elastic
  • spotted scarf
  • dark trousers
  • smart jacket
  • white t-shirt
  • waistcoat or v-necked jumper

Four easy steps

1. To make the mask, cut a fox shape with ears from a piece of cardboard. Measure the location of your child’s eyes (carefully!) and cut out holes for the eyes. Get this right and make sure it fits before you paint.

2. Paint a white muzzle, black whiskers and details and orange upper, following the design on the picture above.

3. Attach with elastic or a strip of orange card, stapled or glued in place.

4. Complete the outfit with dark trousers, white t-shirt, waistcoat or v-necked jumper, smart jacket and spotted scarf.
