Folded Paper Thunder-birds
These paper Thunder-bird eagles are cut from a folded paper like you would a paper heart.
Draw half of the bird at the fold and cut so when you unfold it you have the full bird.
This gives you a positive and negative of the same images. Use both papers.
The birds can be simple or complex.
The positives are just as beautiful as the negatives.
They are beautiful even plain and could be hung like banners.
Kids decorate with yellow squares and zig zags.
Indian Paper Doll
These simple shapes create a cute paper doll that the children love.
Cut a fringe on the blanket edges.
Great Video!

ReplyDeleteThe Thunder-birds are stunning! What a great art project! We lived in South Dakota when my kids were little, and we loved doing unit studies on Native Americans ... this would be perfect for that! Thanks so much for linking up with Montessori Monday! I just featured your post at the Living Montessori Now Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/LivingMontessoriNow
