Bird Puppets

Cut out your colored birds and glue them onto popsicle sticks to make bird puppets. You can use them to put on a bird-themed puppet show or tell a story about birds.

Window Decorations

After coloring your birds, cut them out and tape them to a window. If you want a stained-glass effect, color them on thin paper and use markers so the light shines through.
