Materials

  • Cotton pads: 5–6 pieces (for bird bodies and heads)
  • Blue paper or painted cardboard: 1 sheet (background, 25×25 cm)
  • Red paper: 1 small piece (for beaks)
  • Black paper: 1 small piece (for wings)
  • Brown raffia, twine, or strips of paper: a handful (for nest)
  • Googly eyes: 2 pieces
  • Glue stick or white craft glue
  • Scissors
  • White paper: a few pieces (for clouds)
  • Red and white construction paper: small strips (for chimney and bricks)

Instructions

  • Begin by gluing a red paper chimney shape to the bottom center of your background. Then add small white rectangles to mimic brick details.
  • Create a nest by gluing raffia or twisted brown paper at the top of the chimney. Let some strands stick out for a realistic touch.
  • For the storks, glue two cotton pads vertically for each bod, one as the belly and another for the head. Attach thin strips of white paper as necks between them.
  • Cut small triangles from red paper for the beaks and black semicircles for the wings. Next, glue these onto the cotton pads.
  • Add googly eyes to bring your storks to life. Finally, cut out fluffy white clouds and glue them around the sky to complete the spring scene.
