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!

Dreamcatcher

What you will need:

Paper plates

Yarn

Feathers

Pony beads

Markers or Crayons or Color Pencils or Pens

Hole Puncher

Scissors

How to put it together:

 1. Cut out the inner circle from the paper plate, I started the circle by punching a few holes with the hole puncher where I wanted to start.

2. Punch holes where you want your yarn to go: around the edge of the inner circle, three at the bottom, and one at the top to string yarn through to hang it up.

3. String yarn through inner circle holes, when you find a spot where you want a pony bead loop the yarn around one side so it doesn't slide around.

4. Run one long string through two of your holes at the bottom and one medium length string through the third hole at the bottom (tying it onto the plate to secure it).

5. Slide a pony bead (or a few) through each strand of yarn at the bottom then tie each strand to a feather.

6. Tie a loop of yarn through your top hole.

7. Decorate with markers or whatever you prefer {also if you have it lying around you could always fancy it up some with sequins, glitter, sand, or pom poms)
