Using a white marker, draw and color a small triangle shape inside the small triangle cutouts.
Use the same white marker to draw lines along each side of the bigger triangle (as shown below)

2D Shape Animal Craft - Square Racoon
Now Just like in our other animals, to make this raccoon you need to start by cutting out the shapes from the template. Trace the squares on grey cardstock, and cut them out. Then trace the rectangle and the circle on black cardstock, and cut them out.
Take the black rectangle shape and glue it onto the square as shown below.
For the raccoon's ears, draw and color a small square inside the two small square shapes.
Now, place the ears in place and glue them on. Add the small black circle to the bottom of the racoon's face as a nose.
Then glue googly eyes on top of the black rectangle to complete your square racoon craft.
