My daughter will be attending Kindergarten this year so it was a perfect to spend some quality time together. To bring the story to life, we made this adorable The Kissing Hand Raccoon Craft out of a foam cup.
This cute raccoon craft also turns into a fun treat container. It’s perfect as a back to school craft and can be taken to school to hand out the kisses to classmates, or if you are a teacher you might love to incorporate it for the first day of school after reading The Kissing Hand.

Supplies Needed:
– small foam cup
– gray and white paint
– paintbrush
– black and white cardstock paper
– googly eyes
– small black pom
– black marker
– scissors
– glue
Tutorial:
1. Paint your foam cup
Start by painting the outside of your small foam cup with your gray paint. We also used a little white paint to paint a triangle shape at the top of the cup on one section. Let your paint dry completely.
2. Cut out raccoon pieces
While your paint is drying, cut out your raccoon pieces from your cardstock paper. You’ll need two gray ears, a black eye mask shape, white oval/circle for the mouth and a white raccoon tail. We cut black stripes to make the stripe pattern on the tail.
3. Glue on eye mask & white oval
When your cup is finished drying, glue your black eye mask near the top of your cup, under your white paint. Then glue your white oval underneath the eye mask.
4. Glue ears & tail
Glue your triangle ears on the inside top of your foam cup, and glue your raccoon tail onto the back of the cup.
5. Add google eyes &nose
Finish your The Kissing Hand Raccoon Craft by gluing on googly eyes and a small black pom for a nose. Then use your black marker to draw on a cute smile.
