They used tracers before cutting their birds out, as well as a wing. They studied colour copies of the birds and referred to them as they blended oil pastels to create their feathered friends.
A brass fastener held the wing in place and twigs were collected and taped on for legs.
The next day, gardens were bloomed and provided colourful homes for our birds. The children had seven Popsicle sticks each to design their own garden gates. Pipe cleaners served as flower stems and scrapbook paper was cut into tulips, daffodils, bleeding hearts and other spring blooms. Crepe paper and felt leaves were added along with buttons to finish off the flowers.
The birds were thoughtfully placed in the gardens, some on the ground, others in flight and a few resting on gates.
