DIY Construction Paper Crafts – Birds (12 Step Pictures)
As always we love to do crafts, today its construction papercrafts. My little angel came home with a sweet smile on her eyes, she wanted to do the craft she learned from her craft teacher today. Its construction paper bird, hope it’s very easy for your kids too. The red one I helped her on making marks on the construction paper and for the color craft papers and the blue she did on her own. Okay now let jump on to the craft
How to Make Construction paper Bird
Things you will need
- Construction paper
- Color craft papers
- Glue
- Scissors
- wiggle eye stickers ( which I missed in the first image)
- scale and pencil for making marks
Steps
- Bring the supplies to the craft desk
- Measure 5cm from the edge and make markings
- Garb your scissors and cut a strip of construction paper
- Roughly take measurement to make a tube for the bird’s body
- Trim the second of the paper to make it even smaller in width and shorter length, which will be used for head
- The scrap length from this second tube is used in the blue bird’s wings, legs, and beak
- For the red bird’s beak legs and wings, we used the orangish-yellow color craft paper ( which is thinner than construction paper)
- Fold the small strips from color craft paper, make triangle marking to make beaks and the scraps from it used for birds spiky hair 😉
- And for wings fold a small strip of paper and make “U” shaped cut on the edge and cut them into two. Similarly, fold and make “V” shaped cuts on the edge for legs and split them cut it into two.
- Apply glue and stick them to make a paper tube
- Stick the wings and small tube to form the basic structure
- Stick the wiggle eyes and beak, finally legs and hair
Tada our construction paper bird craft is ready for display
My little angel came with an idea of sticking the styrofoam balls together and place it inside a smaller brown paper tube to show it as a nest with eggs.
Though she pressed and squeezed the bluebird to stick the eyes and beaks, for a 6yr old she tried. 🙂
