DLTK's Crafts for Kids
Vulture Paper Craft

Contributed by Leanne Guenther

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 black construction paper.

Materials:

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

Instructions: Print out the craft template of choice. Color (if using the black and white version of the craft) and cut out the template pieces. Glue the vulture together in the following order: Glue the feet onto the egg shaped body Glue the head 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.
