Special Note:
- This craft
could easily help to depict the story of the ugly duckling by displaying
the yellow feathered ducks altogether with one gray one
You will need:
- one duck shape
precut out for each child
- one blue background
paper for each child
- white glue
or glue sticks
- ‘feathers’
pre-cut from yellow tissue paper
- crayons
What to do:
- tell children
they are going to make a little duck on a pond
- pass out duck
bodies and encourage children to color a face on their ducks
- glue ducks
to background papers
- glue on tissue
paper feathers starting at the back or tail end of the duck and working
their way to the front of the duck
- only glue
the ‘bottom edge of the feathers on so that they take on a dimensional
look as they stand out from the paper
- draw on legs
or make lily pads, sun, etc.
- label work
- clean up
