We often bird watch in the winter. It’s exciting when we spot winter birds such as cardinals and robins. Which got me to thinking, why not create a bird craft out of shapes for the kids. Simply print out my free cardinal template and have the kids craft a mixed media bird! Added bonus: the kids will work on their fine motor skills. This craft will surely brighten any classroom or home!
