Materials Needed:

• Brown craft foam or leather
• Scissors
• Black marker
• Googly eyes
• Hot glue gun (with glue sticks)
• Pattern for wolf head
• Strip of foam or leather (for the loop, about ½ inch wide)
• Pencil (for tracing)

Instructions:

1. Print or draw a simple wolf head pattern on paper.
2. Place the pattern on the foam or leather. Trace around it with a pencil.
3. Cut out the wolf head shape.
4. Use the black marker to draw on the nose and inside the ears.
5. Glue the googly eyes onto the wolf head. Let dry.
6. Make a loop using the strip of foam or leather. Wrap it into a circle about ½ inch wide.
7. Use hot glue to secure the ends of the strip and hold it until it sticks.
8. Glue the loop to the back of the wolf head. Let it dry fully before using.

Extra Tips and Safety Notes:

• Use low-temp hot glue guns if available.
• Young Scouts should have an adult do the hot gluing.
• If using leather, punch small starter holes before cutting to make it easier.
• You can add extra features like a tongue, eyebrows, or whiskers if time allows.
• Let Scouts decorate theirs however they like to make it personal.
