Tropical rainbow bird craft for kids, with free craft printable!

Tropical rainbow bird craft with craft printable

How incredible are these tropical rainbow birds? They are super fun and easy to craft, especially with the craft template ready. Take out the watercolors and create a beautiful rainbow bird craft with your kids.

If you don’t have a skewer or big (wooden) beat at home, don’t worry. You can always find a stick outside or an old pencil (for the bird’s body), and when you combine them with the wings template, you already have a fantastic bird craft! As long as you and your kids enjoy the process and playtime afterward.

DIY bird craft with rainbow wings

Step 1: Print the bird’s wing template or draw them yourself on white (preferably thicker) paper

Step 2: Color the wings with watercolors, pencils, or markers. We gave our birds rainbow wings.

Step 3: Cut the wings

Step 4: Cut a skewer to 6 inches (16 CM); take some orange paint/marker, and paint the pointy part orange, about 1 inch (3 CM). Let your orange bird beak dry. If you don’t have a skewer, use an old pencil or a stick from the outside.

Step 5: Wrap some colored pipe cleaners around your pencil and remove the orange part.

Step 6: Take a big beat and glue two googly eyes on each side (or draw two eyes with a black marker). If you don’t have a big moment, you can use a pom-pom, marble, or a tin foil ball and glue them on top.

Step 7: Glue the beat on your skewer right before the orange beak. 

Step 8: YAY, the final step! Glue the body in the middle of your wings. Great job, now it’s time to play!
