This project is inspired from "The Kids Multicultural Art Book"
by Alexandra M. Terzian


Materials
Card Stock in blue, green and orange.
Scraps of different colored decorative papers
Scissors
Scotch Tape
Glue Stick
Stapler
Sequins (or rhinestone) for decorations, or glitter glue.
2 googly eyes

1. Print page onto cardstock. Cut out the pieces for your template.

2. Fold colored cardstock paper lengthwise. Where indicated, place the template along the fold. Trace all the pieces and cut out.

3. From the colorful scraps, cut out circles in different sizes. These will be used to glue onto the big circle. (To add a touch of glitter, incorporate some sequins or rhinestones.)

4. Cut a small slit (at a 45 degree angle) in the head of the body, on the fold. (This is where the beak will go.) Place the beak into the cut slit and secure on the back of the head with a small piece of tape.

5. Tape the orange crown on the back of the head with a small piece of tape.

6. Staple the bottom of the peacock's body to the bottom of large circle.
