Curly Bird

---

Here's a cheery little paper peep. Color him with reds, oranges, and yellows (the warm colors). This curly bird likes to perch on top of computer monitors!

If you'd like to print these instructions, go to your File menu and select Print.

What You'll Need:
Red, orange, and yellow crayons or color markers
Scissors
Glue stick
Computer paint program, such as Kid Pix
(or pattern from this page)
Printer with black ink

What To Do:

• At your computer, open a painting program such as Kid Pix, ClarisWorks/Paint, or Windows Paint. Draw the 5 pattern pieces, as shown here. Print one copy and cut the pieces out.
  Another Option:
  - Click here to print a copy of the pattern that is provided.
  
  
• Color each pattern piece using red, orange or yellow crayons or markers. Turn each piece over and add color to its back side, too. Cut slots into the crest and tail-end of the body to make feathers. (These slots are shown as lines on the pattern.)
  
  
• Roll the head, crest, and body around a crayon to make them curl. (Be sure the printed pattern faces out when rolled.) Glue the narrow end of the body to the tip of a middle tail feather. Attach the head, crest and feet with glue stick.
