Elijah & the Ravens

Gather supplies. You will need a paper plate, a feather (you could trace 

your childs hand and cut it out for the feather if you do not have one), orange 

construction paper, a googly eye, black paint, a paintbrush, a tiny piece of green 

construction paper, glue, scissors.

Cut paper plate in half. Cut small triangle out of one piece of the 

paper plate (See photo). You will end up using half of a paper plate and a small 

triangle. 

Cut small triangle for beak out of orange construction paper. 

Paint paper plate pieces black.

Attach small triangle to back of larger half of paper plate. 

Place beak on opposite side. 

Attach googly eye and feather with glue. 

Crinkle strip of green construction paper (you could use a piece of shred if 

you have that) to be the worm in the birds mouth and glue to beak. 

 Finished raven! 

A Flower Bouquet

Gather supplies.  You need a piece of white paper, a piece of green construction paper (you could use green paint if you don’t have construction paper), a piece of tan construction paper (you could paint your child’s hand if you do not have paper), several colors of tissue paper, glue,  scissors and a pencil. 

Trace your child’s hand on the 

tan construction paper and cut out.  Set aside.

Cut green construction paper into strips to make stems for flowers.  Make sure they will fit on white paper, leaving room for the flowers at the top!  They may be different lengths.

Photo 4 – Glue green strips onto white paper.

Cut tissue paper into 3x3 inch squares.  You will need 

more of the squares than you have stems!

Place tissue on paper, set pencil in center (eraser side down) and pull tissue up around the pencil and glue to paper.  Do this for all of the flowers!

Glue hand on top of stems, holding bouquet.

A Forever Home

Gather supplies. You will need a couple of boxes (you can even use a plastic 

tub or a shoe box), glue, scissors, a knife (adults only), multi-colors of construction 

paper, and TAPE! (tape is missing in the picture but you will need it!) 

Cut edge of one side of box to make a point so that 

the box looks like a 

house.

Cut back of box off (you will see we 

turned a baby wipes box inside out) 

Use second box to cut roof of house. (If your second box is big enough, you 

can just cut one side – including top flap of box and fold it in half and it will work) 

Trim box however you need to make fit on roof. 

Draw a door and windows on the solid side of the house 

Cut door and windows out of box with knife. (This is a job for the adult 

only) For the door, you can cut just the top, bottom and side and the door will 

actually open and close! (Cutting out the windows takes a little while - this may be a 

great time for your child to have a snack or start cutting out the shingles for the 

roof!) 

Attach roof to house, using tape 

Add a piece of cardboard in the middle of the box and a divider piece on 

the bottom of the box to make it a 2 story house with multiple rooms.

 Tape into place. 

Draw a u-shape on one piece of construction paper and cut out to be a 

template for the shingles. 

Trace the template on the top piece of construction paper then cut out 

with several layers so you have multi-colors of the shingles. 

Glue shingles on roof of house, starting at the bottom! 

Finished house! You can use characters, cars, animals, etc.. to fill 

your house with whatever you would like!
