The crane in the culture of China and Japan is a sacred bird, messenger, mediator of the gods. White color plumage is a symbol of purity, and the red head is a container vitality. In Taoist cranes, they melt the souls of the dead into heaven; Taoist priests turn into them after death. The long curved neck symbolizes wisdom: vain words linger in it, giving time to think about the answer. By folk beliefs The black crane lives for a thousand years. The crane in art, together with pine and stone, is a symbol of longevity. A crane flying towards the sun symbolizes success, a high position in society, and social advancement.

Good afternoon, today we have prepared for you a selection of crafts in the form of paper birds. We have collected all the ways to make a bird that are suitable for kindergarten and schools. That is educators and teachers primary classes They can take any idea and it will be within the power of children’s hands. Here you will find birds made of colored paper and cardboard birds in different techniques. We also have a special article for those who are interested in crafts from paper origami modules

Let's see what bird crafts you can now make with your children.

Simple birds made of cardboard

For children.

Here is the simplest DIY spring craft in the form of birds. Here silhouettes of birds are cut out of cardboard and wings are cut out separately from colored paper. The wings are glued to cardboard. A hole is cut out on the back of the bird with a hole punch and we hang the bird on a branch with a string.

You can glue the silhouette of a bird from several layers of colored paper (or a colored napkin) and then the tail can be fluffed up - separate these layers, as in the photo below).

You can make an accordion fan out of a napkin. Make slits in the silhouette of the bird and insert a fan like the wings and tail of our paper bird. Simple craft for children.

Here is a stencil template with beautiful silhouettes of birds for such children's crafts made from cardboard or paper with their own hands.

Birds are two-sided

From cardboard with your own hands.

The essence of this craft is that a round piece of cardboard is bent in half. And we get a semicircular double-sided blank for the bird. Further inside - along the fold line of the workpiece - we glue a strip of paper (also bent in half lengthwise) - on one side this strip is cut into feathers (this is the tail), on the other side the strip is cut obliquely (this is the beak). Next we glue the wings and eyes, the craft is ready. If desired, you can glue on a semicircular part of the breast. A beautiful and simple DIY bird.

We can improve this craft and add a variety of elements to it. For example, make the wings not from a flat part, but in the form of a fan inserted into a slot on the back of the bird. And decorate the tail part in the form of painted chicken feathers. Feathers are painted in colored water (food coloring or gouache).

Using this technique you can make any bird with your own hands. Depending on the color of the breast and plumage, it may look like a sparrow, bullfinch, or titmouse.

Here's an interesting one master class on titmouse made of paper and cardboard. We bend the cardboard round in half. On the fold line we place a rectangular long strip of paper on the glue so that so that its tail part sticks out. After gluing, we lift this tail part of the black strip up - we turn the bend outward. Next, we glue round pieces of black paper on both sides (this will be the head), and glue the wings on the sides of the bird. And what remained was the beak, eyes and white cheeks of the plumage.

Here's another thing - in the photo below we see birds. They are made using exactly the same technique. Only here it’s not just a circle in half – but changes have been added to the shape of the circle. Below I specially drew you a drawing of this bird - so that you can see for yourself how such changes were created.

Firstly, we slightly changed the shape of the circle - we made it more oval (since part of the circle will go on the back of the bird). Secondly, appendage details were added to the circle - in the tail, in the beak, and where the legs are. We cut it out of cardboard and use colored paper to cover the beak and paws of the bird. And bend along the fold lines. There is a secret how to bend cardboard in half with a perfectly straight line without creases or wrinkles - place a ruler on the intended fold line - from the tip of the beak to the edge of the bird's tail - and, pressing the ruler firmly, bend the cardboard upward. The line turns out as straight and smooth as in a factory.

Here's another craft - figured bird made of cardboard or thick paper. Here the bird is also made from a ROUND PIECE of cardboard, which was folded in half into a half-disc in the same way - but then worked with scissors to give the cardboard half-disc the shape of a bird.

Let me draw too diagram for assembling such a bird from paper. That's a really good idea. Don't be too lazy to tinker with the graphics. So that you can quickly make these birds with your own hands in classes with children.

Using the same principle of SLOTS and inserting new parts into the slots, you can make a wide variety of birds.

For example, such swifts or swallows (see diagram below).

You can hang your paper birds on a branch spring tree. Or make a mobile pendant to decorate a child's room. Dilute the birds with flowers, leaves, clouds.

Or you can place our homemade paper bird inside a new craft - a cage made with your own hands.

To create a cage, we need one wide strip of paper (this is the bottom part of the cage). We twist it into a ring and attach it with glue or a stapler.

And we also need 4 narrow strips (these will be the rods). We make a hole in the center of each narrow strip with a hole punch. We thread a rope into it and tie it so that the twigs stick to each other in the central part. Leave the end of the rope dangling (we will tie the bird to it later).

We glue the ends of the narrow strips in a circle to the lower wide ring-base of the cage.

BIG bird crafts

from corrugated cardboard.

Here's an idea for a craft where birds are cut out of ordinary gray corrugated cardboard packaging left over from boxes. We cut out bird silhouettes, round heads, tail petals, oval wings and long strips of legs. We fasten all the parts with a stapler or glue. And after that we take either gouache paints or colored paper– and decorate or paste over the bird with bright details.

The good thing about this bird craft is that each child comes up with their own bird design. And it turns out that with his own hands he creates a new, author’s bird, reflecting his idea of ​​beauty.

You can cut out a bird with open wings from cardboard, and cut many, many feathers from colored paper, and methodically cover the wings with feathers, starting from the bottom row and gradually rising to the top rows. Bird breast cover with wavy strips of colored paper. The tail part is made of long narrow feathers.

In kindergarten, such a craft can be a collective one, when the whole group of children cuts out feathers in one lesson, and in the second lesson they cover the bird with them. You can make a long-lasting DIY craft.

Of course, you may not have a large cardboard box, then your bird craft can be simpler and smaller. For example, like the one in the photo below. And by the way, you can make a nest for it. Make several of these birds - one per child - and let them paint them during drawing lessons. Carton boxes There is always plenty in the kitchen of the kindergarten (they bring food to the children) - go down and ask the cooks, they can supply you with such material at least every day.

Paper birds

using the VEER technique.

As we said above, a paper fan looks like the wings of birds. Therefore, we can use it in various bird crafts. For example, beautiful duckling– the beak for it can be made two-bladed so that it opens. You can make a whole duck family with your own hands with these wing fans.

A long narrow strip folded into an accordion can become a long neck ostrich, and his own feet.

If we take several sheets of colored paper, fold them like accordions and glue them side by side, we will get a large colored fan, which can become a fluffy tail for a turkey or peacock made of cardboard.

But it can be done more economically. This one is perfect for kindergarten peacock bird craft. When a peacock's tail is made from ONE sheet of paper. The accordion folds - and then bends in half - into a semicircular arch. The tail of a cardboard bird is inserted between the halves of this arch fan. This is the most quick way make a peacock bird. You don’t have to draw the spots, but cut them out of colored paper - it will be more elegant.

Using a similar principle of a “fan bent along the floors,” the wing of the bullfinch bird is made in the children’s craft below. In the photo we see that a triangular piece of paper is folded into an accordion. Then this accordion is bent in half and its blade halves come together (like the peacock above) - and we get an oval pointed wing. An excellent bird craft for kindergarten, easy and quick to do with your own hands, even for small children.

And if you take a long strip for a fan, then an accordion from a long strip can be folded into a circle. And this circle can become a fluffy wing of a paper dove. Or this round fan will become the body of a bird.

Paper birds

in loop technique.

And here are children's bird crafts, where the plumage is made using the paper loop technique. An ordinary strip of paper is folded edge to edge with glue - we get a paper loop. Such paper loops can become the feathering of a peacock's tail.

You can even make entire birds out of paper loops. Or loops can become an element of flat swan appliqué.

Below, you can take a good look at what parts such a paper bird consists of.

DIY birds

from paper rolls.

Wide strips of paper can be rolled up. Make two rolls like this - one for the head, the other for the body of the bird. The rolls can be left hollow, or they can be filled, for example, with rolls of smaller diameter (as in the right photo).

Below we see several handmade designs of such paper birds.

The body of the bird can be made not in the shape of a round roll, but in the shape of a paper loop. And then a long tail extension can be glued to such a body. You can glue layers of paper curls onto the tail as in the photo below.

You can attach wings to the side. The wing consists of one whole strip, it is glued inside the roll and its two ends stick out from different sides– it turns out two separate wings.

You can make a whole family of birds out of paper with your own hands in a nest, also made from paper strips.

A strip of paper folded into a wide ring can become a source for new bird crafts. This is such a beautiful white paper swan. But what a bright turkey.

Craft birds

from paper plates.

Regular disposable paper plates can also be a source of inspiration for bird-themed crafts. A round plate can become a nest-basket for a family of chicks.

The plate can become the curve of a swan's neck, or the round, lush tail of a peacock.

Paper birds

from toilet bushings.

Rolls (sleeves) from toilet paper can be a source of inspiration when creating paper birds. Children love such crafts - turning an unnecessary object into beautiful thing, this is interesting.

You can simply paint the roll with paint. You can paste it over with a sheet of colored paper. And add accessories: feathers, beak, etc.

Or you can cut a cardboard sleeve from the top on both sides - and insert the silhouette of an owl into this cut, and then the sleeve will become its tummy.

The sleeve can be turned the other way - placed horizontally. And then your imagination will go in a different direction and you will see new ideas for birds. Here is a chicken made of paper, here is a cheerful parrot.

Volumetric cardboard crafts

DIY birds.

If a sheet of cardboard is rolled into a tube and secured with a stapler, then we will get a blank - the body of the future bird. Feathers, beak and eyes make this template a beautiful bird. And here your imagination is free to do what it wants.

The cardboard can be rolled not in the shape of a tube - but in the shape of a cone, also fastened with a stapler. Based on the cone, you can also come up with your own bird crafts.

We also have other articles, with interesting crafts on bird themes.

These are the ideas for paper birds. Now you can not only take a ready-made craft from this article, but also, based on any technique described here, CREATE your own bird. After all, copying is boring, but creating something new with your own hands is very interesting.

Good luck with your bird crafts. Best wishes to them and you.
