Winter Bird Paper Craft


This is a cute and quick craft if you need a project to finish in one period. I taught these, with the help of the Kindergarten teacher team, in one 40 minute period to a mixed group of Kinder, Grade 1,2 and 3 students. This project is definitely too easy for Grade 3 students but they still seemed to enjoy it.

I found the lesson HERE on the craft website krokotak. They provide templates and everything you need for easy but cute crafts.

To save time, I pre-splattered white paint onto blue construction paper. 
I cut brown construction paper in half and printed off one bird template per student.

For the branch, we talked about tearing the paper to create texture to resemble bark. They did this step first. Tearing the paper into a strip proved challenging for some students for sure. 
But they got the hang of it. 

Then they coloured in the bird using pencil crayons, with accents of markers. I encouraged them to do a pattern on the scarf. Cut out the bird, fold down the wing flap and glue on top of the branch. Draw on legs with a marker. Everyone just managed to finish in the 40 minute period!
