Handprint Peacock

Time:20 min Difficulty:Easy  

We’ve got an egg-citing craft for you! Today we’re joined by a fowlsome bird! Why not make your own?

Here’s what you need:

  • Acrylic paint (Green, Yellow, and Blue)
  • Pencil
  • Scissors
  • Glue
  • Tissue
  • 2 googly eyes
  • Blue Paper, felt, or foam sheets
  • Paper scraps: old magazines, newspapers, mailers, or seasonal cards (whatever you can find!)

Here’s how you make it:

Step 1: Trace the outline of your hand on the cardboard. You will need to do this at least 3 times. Cut out these hand shapes.
Paint your peacock’s feathers green.

Step 2: While your paint is drying, cut your blue paper into one small circle, and two triangles: A tiny and big one.

Step 3: Paint the tiny triangle yellow! Your peacock still needs pretty feather designs. Dip your fingers in yellow and blue paint and mark your bird’s feathers with dots.

TIP: Be sure to clean your fingers off with tissue afterwards!

Step 4: Attach the small circle to the top of your triangle. For the face, add the small yellow triangle and googly eyes.

Step 5: Glue the feathers to the back of your peacock’s body, and there you have it! A magnificent peacock!

What name did you give your im-PECK-able peacock? Did you give its feathers different colors?
