When I was preparing the lesson for the Sunbeam class searching through the internet for an extra art and craft activities that would make the children interested in learning about the topic “I am Thankful for Birds & Insects”.
I intend to have the Sunbeam children doing this craft as we are learning about the Lord’s creations which including birds. I did some modifications as I used some more economical materials which I can find.
- Brown colour Paper Plate
- Construction paper in a variety of colours
- Liquid glue
- Scissors
- Googly eyes
- Colourful feathers
- Brown or black yarn cut into small pieces
- Kindergarten Teacher Laura (who has an amazing TPT Store and also blogs at Kindergarten Adventures) has graciously created this free template for the paper pieces (nest, bird, beaks) to help out those prepping for large groups. A HUGE thank you to her!
To Make:
Start out by making your birds. Cut out two circles for the bird- one for the head and one for the body.
Glue the two circles together.
Add some googly eyes and an orange beak.
Glue some feathers on the bird.
Follow directions 1-4 for the second bird.
Set your birds aside to dry and make the bird nest.
Fold the brown colour paper plate to half and cut out a nest shape. Glue scraps of brown and black yarn onto the nest.
Glue the birds onto the nest.
Hang up the finished bird craft on wall!
I feel happy as well because I do not know I can create such a nice and attractive craft, and the Sunbeam children were enjoying making and doing it together with their lovely parents too! Feel blessed indeed!
The most important thing is to let the kids know that Heavenly Father and Jesus love them!
