3D Bird

For the second student presentation we created a 3D bird. To begin the class we watched a video on youtube featuring cartoon birds. Then we were asked to create our own character by giving the bird a name and some brief information about our bird on an index card. Then we were given the outlines to our bird and we were able to decorate our bird however we wanted. There were tissue paper and feathers available. I used crayons and tissue paper to create my character. After the bird was cut out we folded on the dotted lines on the wings and glued them to the designated spot on the birds body. Then we cut a slit for where the tail goes and attached the tail to the bird's body. Then we hole punched on end of each wing and in the middle the upper body. Finally I tied a string at each hole and brought togther the three strings and tied all three strings together.

An extention activity for this project is discussing the different types of birds and where they would live. You could also talk about birds migrating. This would fit perfect with a science unit.
