There are six printable templates in total!

Three of them are fall leaf background designs, including one with only a yellow border so your child can decorate it freely by adding real leaves.

The animals featured in these Fall Craft Printable Pop Up Cards are a squirrel, bear, and red panda.

Each animal comes with a coloring page, so kids can color and design their own animal faces. It’s a fun way to explore imagination and creativity!

The materials are simple and easy to prepare!

You only need the printable templates, scissors, glue, double-sided tape, and markers.

When attaching the leaves, using double-sided tape instead of glue makes it neater and easier for kids to work with — the leaves stay firmly in place, making the activity smoother and more fun.

In this tutorial, we’ll make the red panda design from the Fall Craft Printable Pop Up Cards with Animals set.

First, color the red panda template, then let your child decorate the face with their own creative expressions — a happy smile, a funny face, or anything they imagine!

Every card becomes a unique piece of art filled with your child’s personality.

Cut along the outline of the red panda’s face. Then, fold the template in half.

Fold the diagonal lines on both sides inward.

Add folded paper “wings” to both sides of the red panda’s face. These make the face pop out in a three-dimensional way, creating that fun “peekaboo” effect when the card opens. It’s a great moment for kids to practice fine motor skills while enjoying the process.

Coloring the templates! Each one is filled with lovely fall illustrations like leaves and acorns, perfect for capturing the cozy colors of autumn. Encourage your child to express their creativity by using a variety of warm, seasonal shades.

Fold one of the leaf background templates in half, then unfold it.

Apply glue to the folded wings on the red panda’s face and attach them to the center of the background. Now you have a wonderful Fall Craft Printable Pop Up Card that surprises you when opened — the red panda pops out saying, “Peekaboo!”

When you open the finished card, the red panda peeks out from behind the colorful autumn leaves.

It’s like a little fall magic moment!

Using DRAWINART’s Fall Craft Printable Pop Up Cards with Animals, you can enjoy a cozy, nature-inspired craft with your child — full of color, creativity, and the warm spirit of autumn.
