Parrot Paper Craft
This parrot is a simple cut and paste paper craft that is fun for young children to make. It makes a great project for preschool and kindergarten kids and works well for a pirates, jungle or letter P theme.
Materials:
- something to color with if using the B&W version,
- scissors,
- glue, and
- paper,
- You can use brass fasteners ("brads") instead of glue to attach the head or wings if you want them to be moveable.
Instructions:
- Print out the template of choice.
- Color (where appropriate).
- Cut out the template pieces -- parents can help cut out some of the more difficult pieces like the wings while children work on the easier pieces like the body and legs.
- Glue the parrot together in the following order:
- Glue the feet behind the body
- Glue the wings onto the body
- Glue the seed into one of the hands
- Glue the head onto the body
- Glue the beak onto the head
- See picture on the template for further help.
