Hummingbird Paper Craft

This is a simple cut and paste paper craft good "just for fun" or a bird 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 hummingbird together in the following order:
    • glue the smaller egg as the chest onto the egg shaped body
    • position your egg so it is upside down (the thinner tip is pointed down)
    • feet onto the bottom of the body
    • glue the tail behind the feet
    • glue the eyes onto the body
    • glue the beak onto the body
    • 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
