Shape Bird - Educational Craft

Birds come in all shapes and sizes.

And some birds come in just SHAPES! :)

Here is a fun and educational bird craft you can do with your little ones.

Supplies:

• Craft Foam or Construction Paper in yellow and the color you want your bird to be.
• Scissors
• Glue
• 1" Googly Eye

Make it!

Step 1. Using the craft foam you choose for your bird, cut out a square about 3" big, a small semi-circle, and a small crescent shape.

Step 2. Cut out 3 small triangles from the yellow craft foam.

Step 3. Help your child name all the shapes, including the eye (circle). Tell them you're going to create an animal with the shapes. 

Step 4. As you show your child where to glue each shape (as shown below), have them try to guess what animal they are crafting. Add the Googly eye. Let it dry and you're done!

Basketball Memory

Here is a fun little matching game you can make for your kids!

Also a fun way to review COLORS! You don't need many supplies and all it takes is 4 easy steps!

Supplies:

• Construction paper in various colors
• White Cardstock
• Scissors
• Marker
• Glue

Prep Work:

1. Use a small cup and trace 2 circles on each piece of construction paper. (**OR--Just trace the circles on one of the papers and stack the others underneath to cut!)

2. Cut out the circles.

3. With a black marker, draw the following lines on each circle to make it look like a basketball: A line from top to bottom. A line from side to side. Two curved lines on each side.

4. Cut your white cardstock into rectangles big enough for the balls to fit on, then glue them on.

**(Optional: If you want these to last a while, go ahead and laminate them, or cover them with clear contact paper).

TIME TO PLAY!

• Lay all the cards face down.
• Take turns with your child picking 2 cards and see if they match. This is also a fun way to review COLORS with your little ones. Whenever they flip over a card, have them name the color.
• Whoever makes the most matches wins! :)
