Bird Book Mark

So easy and doesn't take a lot of stuff to make, I incorporated this craft with a picture book about books but you could do something about birds. If you are a Cardinals fan like me it could be a St. Louis style craft.

What you need:

craft sticks

markers or paint

glue 

wiggle eyes

feathers

Color your craft sticks and I drew on the beak but you could glue on a piece of construction paper or felt. Then I glued on wiggle eyes and the feather on the back.

You may notice that most of my crafts are pretty simple and that is because I have children attend my programs that are between 4 and 10. I like for the kids to be able to do most of it themselves

If you have any questions or suggestions feel free to comment!

Star Fan Craft

What you will need:
Star template printed on card stock
Craft Stick or tongue depressor
ribbon (not necessary but nice)
glue
glitter

One of the many templates out there is here: http://familyfun.go.com/assets/cms/pdf/printables/0406_star_template.pdf

Cut out star, color, put on glue and glitter, and then punch holes in the points on the star and tie a small piece of ribbon on each. I think the picture show you one way of doing it, but you can be creative and do it differently.

Monster Craft

What you'll need:
Play Doh
Pipe cleaners
Googley Eyes
Tooth Picks

I divided up the Play doh so that everyone had some for their monster. Then the kids had the option of how many eyes, tooth picks, and pipe cleaners they used for their monster. The top one is mine and the rest at the bottom are ones done by the kids. Once I started taking pictures of the monsters they all wanted a picture taken of their monster.
