DLTK's Crafts for Kids
Hen (Chicken)
Paper Craft
This is a simple cut and paste paper craft good "just for fun",
a bird theme, or a farm 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 ("brads") 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 hen together in the following order:
- glue the feet onto the egg shaped body
- glue the eyes onto the body
- glue the wattle under the beak
- glue the beak onto the body
- glue the comb onto the top of the head
- 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
