Cardinal Craft

This cardinal craft is a great project to do in the winter. In our preschool class, we discuss how most birds migrate to the south during the winter months. In the North, we don�t get to see many birds in the winter so spying a bright red cardinal is always a treat!

What you'll need:

How to make your cardinal craft:
  • Trace all of the cardinal pieces from the template onto the red cardstock and cut out.
  • With the marker, color the bottom of each leg and each foot black.
  • Glue these legs behind the bottom of the cardinal's body.
  • Glue a few red feathers to the wing and glue the wing to the center of the body.
  • Glue the tail behind the body as shown.
  • Cut a small break from the yellow paper and glue on the face as shown. Glue the google eye near the beak.
