This is an easy cut and paste craft that utilizes a toilet paper roll to give it a three dimensional effect.  You can use a piece of a paper towel roll instead, if you prefer.

I originally made this craft for Easter, but you could make it for a farm theme, shapes theme, yellow theme, birds theme or spring theme.

Materials:

• a toilet paper roll,
• a printer,
• paper for the printer,
• scissors,
• glue,
• crayons (or something else to color with).

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 rectangle onto the toilet paper roll.  Then glue on the face pieces, wings and feet.

Alternative Decorating Ideas:

• Use sparkles, sparkle glue, or felt to decorate.
• Replace paper eyes with wiggly eyes.
• Glue feathers onto the wings and/or glue on a feather tail (you can pluck old feather dusters as a cheap source of feathers).
• Print the black and white template on yellow construction paper.  Print a second copy on white paper and mix & match the pieces.

Templates:

• Close the template window after printing to return to this screen.
• Set page margins to zero if you have trouble fitting the template on one page (FILE, PAGE SETUP in most browsers).
