Today Sophia worked from her Complete Curriculum: Grade 1 (Flash Kids Harcourt Family Learning). We did Lesson 3 in Reading Skills, which was a story about a Robin and she had to answer a few questions about the story. To go along with the story I wanted to do a simple, but fun craft. Here it is:  

What you'll need:

• Construction paper: brown, red, and orange
• Robin template
• Scissors
• Glue
• Googly eye

How to make your Robin Craft:

1. Print our robin template and cut out the pieces. Fold a piece of brown construction paper and trace the body piece of the robin onto the paper so that the straight edge is along the fold and cut it out. Note: if you unfold the paper you should have a complete circle. Trace the other pieces onto construction paper as indicated on the template and cut them out as well.
2. Unfold the brown body and glue the red semi-circle inside. Then glue the body piece closed. There should be just a little bit of red sticking out at the bottom to make the robin's red tummy.
3. Glue the Robbins head onto the front of the body and its feet onto the back.
4. Glue on the beak and googly eye to complete your craft.
