DLTK's Crafts for Kids
Bald Eagle Paper Craft
contributed by Leanne Guenther
This is a simple cut and paste paper craft good "just for fun" or a bird 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 brown construction paper.
Materials:
- something to color with if using the B&W version,
- scissors,
- glue,
- paper.
- You can use brass fasteners ("brads") instead of glue to attach the wings if you want them to be moveable.

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 hen together in the following order:
- Glue the feet onto the egg shaped body.
- Glue the head onto the body.
- 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.
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 or FILE, PRINTER SETUP in most browsers).
