Cheep & Chirp Bird Book
Listen to the birds sing! Watch them fly away! Keep track of their bright colors and cheerful songs in your very own bird-watcher book.
1. Birds are so fascinating! Have you noticed their different songs, colors, markings, feet, beaks, tail feathers, and wing shapes? It’s fun to remember how many different birds you hear and see during a day in the park or at the beach. Here’s one way to print your own bird-watcher book.
2. Prepare a printing block. Sketch a book cover design on paper with Crayola® Erasable Colored Pencils. Press your design into a recycled foam produce tray with a colored pencil. Remember your design will come out opposite when you print it.
3. Print your cover. Cut two construction paper book covers with Crayola Scissors. Cover your craft area with newspaper. Using Crayola Paint Brushes, cover your printing block with Crayola Washable Kid’s Paint. Press it on your book cover and remove. Air-dry your print.
4. Put your book together. Cut white paper to fit inside your Cheep & Chirp covers. Staple your book together. Add to the cover with Crayola Washable Markers. For a 3-D effect, glue on cut-paper shapes with Crayola Glue Sticks. You’re ready for a bird-watching trek!
