How to Make a Blue Bird Handprint Craft Step by Step
Step 1: Gather Your Supplies
Start by gathering all the supplies needed to make the blue bird handprint craft. Lay everything out on a flat work surface so it’s easy to reach.
Step 2: Create the Handprint Shape
Trace a child’s hand onto blue cardstock and cut it out. The fingers will become the bird’s feathers, and the palm will form the body.
Set the handprint aside once it’s cut.
Step 3: Cut the Bird Pieces
From yellow cardstock, cut a small triangle shape for the beak and two long, thin strips for the legs. Add simple feet shapes to the bottom of each leg.
Step 4: Position the Beak and Legs
Place the yellow triangle beak on the side of the blue handprint where the thumb meets the palm. Arrange the legs underneath the handprint so the bird looks like it’s standing.
Once everything looks right, glue the beak and legs in place.
Step 5: Add the Eyes
Glue googly eyes onto the bird’s head area above the beak. Adjust placement to give each bird its own personality.
Let the glue dry for a few minutes before moving the craft.
All done!
Let it dry completely, then display it on a wall, bulletin board, or fridge for a bright pop of color!
