Materials
- Peacock printable (download for free below)
- Tissue paper (blue, green, yellow)
- Glue stick
- Scissors
Instructions
Download and print out the peacock printable (available below).
Cut the tissue paper into small squares or strips. You can prep this in advance or have your child cut the tissue paper as part of the craft.
Cover the body of the peacock with glue. Crinkle pieces of blue tissue paper and stick them to the body of the peacock until it’s covered.
Use small pieces of yellow tissue paper to cover the beak and legs.
Cover the first feather with glue. Crinkle up two pieces of yellow tissue paper and place them over the circles on the feather. Then cover the rest of the feather with green tissue paper. Place a very small piece of blue tissue paper in the center of the yellow circle.
Continue decorating the bird, covering each feather with glue one by one and then adding the crinkled tissue paper.
Add eyes to the peacock, using googly eyes or the paper eyes included in the printable.
Finally, cut out the peacock.
If desired, at this point you can glue the peacock onto a colored piece of paper.
