DLTK's Crafts for Kids
Hen (Chicken) Paper Craft

This is a simple cut and paste paper craft good "just for fun", a bird theme, or a farm theme made from a basic egg shape. 

You can turn it into a handprint craft by replacing the wings with handprints traced onto a piece of paper.

Materials:

  • something to colour with if using the B&W version,
  • scissors,
  • glue, and
  • paper.  
     
  • You can use brass tacks instead of glue to attach the wings if you want them to be moveable.
     

Instructions:

  • Print out the template of choice.
     
  • Colour (where appropriate) and cut out the template pieces.
     
  • Glue the hen together in the following order:
    • glue the feet onto the egg shaped body
    • glue the eyes onto the body
    • glue the wattle under the beak
    • glue the beak onto the body
    • glue the comb onto the top of the head
    • glue the wings onto the body. 

      You can use the template piece or trace a hand onto a piece of paper and use that as the wing
         
    • See picture on the template for further help
