The Red-Breasted Robins have returned to the garden, gifting joy to us all and the snow has finally melted, leaving remnants from Autumn -such as leaves and berries, perfect for the children to make little Robins of their own.
Cardboard Pastel Robins
What you will need:
- Corrugated cardboard
- Selection of leaves (and feathers)
- Grasses or ferns for tail
- Pastel crayons
- Glue and scissors
- 2 sticks for legs (thin enough to fit into the section of corrugated cardboard
Pastels create a fabulous texture for the Robin’s red breast
How to make:
- Cut a circle out of the cardboard adding a triangle shape at one end for the beak
- Colour the bird using the pastel crayons
- Add leaves and grasses for feathers and tail
- Add an eye with crayons or small seed
- Push the legs carefully into the base of the cardboard
Carefully insert the stick legs into the corrugated cardboard.
Help the children to stick the birds into the ground
An alternative Robin…..A Rocking Robin
These adorable Robins are made using a circular piece of card folded over and decorated with leaves and berries.
JOY, PEACE, MUSIC, CREATIVITY, CONNECTED, HAPPINESS, HEALTHY
I cannot think of anything more magical than being creative outdoors with children listening to the most beautiful song writers in the world.
Have the robins arrived where you are?
Wishing you all a magical and creative week in nature, love and peace Marghanita x
