Improving Fine Motor Skills
We all know that crafting is super fun, but it’s also a fun way to improve fine motor skills. As your young kids cut-out shapes, and draw on faces, not only will they get to express their creativity, but they will also get some fine motor practice.

Watch the Campfire Craft Video for step-by-step instructions on how to make this paper fire craft.
Step 1: Download and Print the Free Printable Template
Download the Free Campfire Template. The PDF file contains everything you need to make this easy fire craft for kids.
Step 2: Cut Out the Winter Craft Shapes
Print the free Campfire printable template. You will be stapling it to colored paper and cutting out as many shapes as you need.
If you want to make this craft with a group of kids, you can staple the template to up to 10 sheets of copy paper, 5 sheets of cardstock or 5-8 sheets of construction paper.
So, did you know, you can staple together 10 pieces of copy paper and cut out 10 shapes at a time?! That’s my SECRET to fast & easy crafting.
Stapling the paper is very important because it makes sure it doesn’t move as you cut. The more staples the better. Cardstock is the thickest so you may only be able to cut 5 sheets at a time.
Tip: While you’re cutting, if you cut off all parts of the pages that have staples, make sure to re-staple the sheets that are left.
Whenever you’re cutting multiple sheets at a time, make sure they are always stapled together.
Step 3: Optional Tip: Print the Log Template Page directly onto Construction Paper
You can also print or copy the template directly onto construction paper. My mind was blown when I learned to print directly onto construction paper.
Just trim the construction paper to the 8×10 size using copy paper as a template (you should easily be able to trim multiple sheets at a time).
Step 4: How to Assemble
The kids will just need to glue it all together and make it their own.
- Glue the orange flame on top of the red flame. You can line the bottom edges up so it’s easier.
- Glue the small yellow flame in the middle of the fire. Make sure it’s in the middle or it will be covered by the logs.
- Glue the first log horizontal across the bottom of the fire.
- Glue the second log diagonal across the first log.
- Glue the third log across the other logs diagonally to make an “X” shape.
- Optional: Glue the fire onto a piece of blue construction paper.
- Don’t forget to put your name on the back.
