Oh boy, have I got something quacky for you today! I stumbled upon this amazing DIY project for making paper ducks that toddlers will absolutely love. And let’s be honest, who doesn’t love cute little ducks? So, let’s get started!
Step 1: Gather Your Supplies
First things first, you’re going to need some supplies. Don’t worry, they’re all super easy to find, and some of them you may already have lying around your house. Here’s what you’ll need:
- Colored paper (yellow, orange, white, and black)
- Scissors
- Glue stick or double-sided tape
- Black pen or marker
Step 2: Let’s Get Quacking
Now that we have all of our supplies, it’s time to get started! Follow these simple steps:
- Take your yellow paper and fold it in half.
- Cut it into four equal strips.
- Fold each strip like an accordion (back and forth) and glue the ends together to make a fan shape.
- Take your orange paper and cut out a duck’s beak and two feet. Glue them onto the fan. (See, it’s already starting to look like a duck!)
- Take your white paper and cut out two small circles for the eyes. Glue them onto the fan and draw black pupils with your pen or marker.
- Take your black paper and cut out two small half-circles for the wings. Glue them onto the duck’s body.
- And there you have it! Your very own paper duck!
Step 3: Get Creative
Now that you know the basics, feel free to get creative with your ducks. Use different colors for the body and wings, add some glitter or stickers, or even make a whole family of ducks!
This DIY project is not only fun and easy, but it’s also a great way to spend quality time with your little ones. And who knows, maybe it will inspire a love of crafting in them that will last a lifetime.
So what are you waiting for? Let’s get quacking!
