Peace Dove

Make a beautiful dove out of paper. The body is stiff paper, and the wings are thinner paper.

Supplies needed:
  • Stiff paper (1 piece)
  • Regular paper (1 piece)
  • Scissors
  • Pencil
  • String
  • Clear tape
  • Optional: markers, glue, glitter
Draw the shape of a bird's body on stiff paper.
Cut out the bird and cut two slits in the body (along the dotted lines).
Cut a piece of paper in half.

Fold each piece like an accordion.

Optional: Cut the edges of the folded paper for a lacy effect.
Insert the folded paper (wings and tail feathers) into the slits in the bird's body. Secure them to the body with clear tape. Tape the ends of the tail feathers together (making a fan shape).

Draw eyes on the dove. Tape some string to the body of the dove (for hanging it up).

Optional: decorate the dove with markers or glitter.
