Download the swan template, print, and cut out the pieces you need.
Begin by gluing the beak to the back and left of the swan's head.
Take the entire swan body and glue it to a colored piece of paper.
Trace your child's hand onto the same colored piece of paper as the swan's body and cut it out. Arrange it on the swan's body with the thumb by the neck and the fingers angle outward and glue the palm down.
Finish up by curling the fingertips away from the background piece of paper.
