Supplies

• Colored cardstock or construction paper
• Glue stick
• Scissors
• Hummingbird template (unlock the free template at the end of this post)

Directions

Start by downloading the template and printing it out. Once you have the template printed, gather the materials needed for this fun activity. Get those scissors ready, and let’s help the kids bring this hummingbird to life!

First, guide your child to glue the eye below the eyebrows.

Next, glue the throat feathers on the left side of the body.

Now, help your child place the front body piece on the lower part of the back body piece.

Trace your child’s hand onto a colored piece of paper, then cut it out. Repeat on a second piece of lighter colored paper. Position the lighter handprint wing on the front and right side of the body and glue it in place.

Glue the other handprint wing on the back of the body.

Finally, encourage your child to glue the beak to the left of the eye, just above the throat feathers.
