This is an art project to go along with "The Thirsty Crow" Panchatantra.
Materials
Light colored piece of cardstock
Black Poster Board
Small piece of orange construction paper (or gold foil)
2 paper fasteners (brads)
straw
2 googly eyes
stapler
scissors
1. Print the image onto a light colored piece of cardstock. Cut all the pieces out. These are to be used as your templates.
2. Fold a piece of black poster board in half. Place the body template on the paper (with the top of the head at the fold). Trace and cut out. You should have two complete bodies joined at the top of the head.
3. Trace 2 wings onto a single piece of black poster board. Cut out.
4. Trace beak onto orange construction paper. Cut out.
5. Place the straw between the 2 pieces of body and staple onto the straw.
6. Place a wing on the body (at the shoulder) and poke a hole through the body. Fasten with a brad. Do the same thing with the other wing.
7. Glue the eyes and the beak on.
8. Twirl the straw between your palms. If the wings don't flap up and down as you spin, loosen the paper fasteners.
