DLTK's Crafts for Kids
Hen (Chicken)
Paper Craft
contributed by Leanne Guenther
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 color with if using the B&W version,
- scissors,
- glue, and
- paper.
- You can use brass fasteners ("brads") instead of glue to attach the wings if you want them to be moveable.

- Color (where appropriate) and cut out the template pieces.

- 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

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).
