BIRD ACTIVITIES

BLUE BIRD PUPPET
  • Using the large or medium pattern, cut birds from blue paper.
  • Punch out on eye with a hole punch or have your children make an eye with a black marking pen.
  • Have your children cover the bottom of the bird with glue and place on some blue feathers
  • Tape or glue tongue depressors or craft sticks onto the back of the bird for a stick handle.
  • Let your children use their puppets while you sing songs about Spring
BIRD IN A NEST
Cut birds out of brown construction paper.
Have your children glue the bird in the nest.
Next, have them spread glue on the rest of the nest and add items to complete their nests, such as:
  • Brown shredded paper
  • Small brown yarn pieces
  • Small brown twigs
  • Straw, hay or grass
FLYING BIRDS
  • Using the large bird pattern, cut birds out of light weight cardboard for your children.
  • Next, cut a 3" slit across the middle of each bird.
  • Give your children a 6" square of paper such as, tissue paper, thin construction paper, etc. Have them fold their paper accordion style.
  • Then have them, stick their folded paper through the slit in their bird creating wings on their bird.
  • These birds look great hung from the ceiling on strings or outside hung from trees.

    WING ALTERNATIVE:
  • Another way to make bird wings is to give your children 2 - 3" paper circles and have them fold their circles in half.
  • Then, have them glue half of a circle on each side of their bird, with the other half sticking out for wings.
