How to Make a Groundhog Day Hat Craft

Keep your kids busy on February 2nd while waiting for Punxsutawney Phil to come out and see if we are going to have more winter or early spring. Teach them about the weather while waiting to see what ole’ Phil says. Is it a cloudy day or sunny outside?

Gather up your craft supplies and print your Groundhog Bookmarks on white paper or cardstock. If you choose to print on cardstock it will hold up a little longer durability wise. Laminating will also help to keep your new bookmarks around for a long time.

Color your bookmarks while trying to stay in the lines and really working on those fine motor skills.

Scissors will also help build their hand-eye coordination. This printable activity can be a 2 sided bookmark by folding it in half or cut through the center to make two separate bookmarks.
