Hi there! Today, we’re going to have so much fun making a special paper bird that can fly. Are you ready? Let’s get started!
First, let’s gather everything we need. You will need a square piece of paper. It can be any color you like. Isn’t that exciting?
1. Take your square paper and fold it in half to make a triangle. Press down on the fold to make it nice and neat.
2. Now, open it up and fold it in half the other way to make another triangle. Press down again!
3. Open your paper. You should see a big “X” in the middle. This is going to help us with the next steps.
4. Fold the top corner down to the middle of the “X.” This will be the bird’s head.
5. Now, fold the bottom corner up to the middle of the “X.” This will be the bird’s tail.
6. Fold the left and right corners to the middle of the paper. These will be the bird’s wings. Make sure they are even so your bird can fly well!
7. Now, fold the paper in half along the middle line. Your bird is almost ready to fly!
8. Hold the bird by the body and gently pull the wings apart. Watch as your bird flaps its wings and flies through the air!
Wow! You did an amazing job making your flying paper bird. You can make more birds in different colors and have a whole flock flying around. Isn’t that fun?
Remember, practice makes perfect. The more you make, the better your birds will fly. Have fun and keep creating!
Observe Real Birds: Take a walk outside or look out the window to watch real birds flying. Notice how they flap their wings and glide through the air. Can you see any similarities between the way real birds fly and your paper bird? Draw a picture of your favorite bird and share what you observed with your friends or family.
Experiment with Different Papers: Try making your paper bird using different types of paper, such as newspaper, construction paper, or even wrapping paper. Which type of paper makes the bird fly the best? Why do you think that is? Discuss your findings with your classmates and see if they had similar results.
Design Your Own Bird: Use your imagination to create a new design for your paper bird. Maybe it has longer wings or a bigger tail. How does your new design affect the way it flies? Share your new bird design with the class and explain how you came up with your idea.
