DLTK's Bible Crafts for Kids
Canada Angel Paper Craft

Contributed by Leanne Guenther

Multi cultural templates available.

Alternative:  Rather than making a paper craft, print the B&W template, cut out the pieces and trace them onto craft foam.  Assemble like the paper craft.  Use black marker to draw on facial features.  The small template makes a nice craft foam tree ornament.

Materials:

• printer
• paper
• scissors
• glue
• something to color with (if using B&W template)

Instructions:

• Print angel template of choice.  The large templates are easier for young children to do as the pieces are bigger.
• Color the Canadian angel template pieces if you are doing the B&W version (red and white!)
• Cut out the template pieces (this may require adult assistance -- I usually roughly cut the paper into pieces with one template on each.  Then I give my 3 year old the big ones to work on and I cut out the smaller ones.)
• The large (red) piece is the bottom.  To it, glue (in order):
   
  1. the dress (white)
  2. the head/neck
  3. the hair (onto the head)
  4. the wings
  5. the maple leaf (at the waist of the angel)
  6. the hands (so they overlap the leaf a little)
  7. the feet (underneath the large piece)
• Look at the image of the finished craft on this page if you get stuck.  If you're making this with a large group of children, consider pre-making one for them to look at.

Templates:

• Close the template window after printing to return to this screen.
• Set page margins to zero if you have trouble fitting the template on one page (FILE, PAGE SETUP or FILE, PRINTER SETUP in most browsers).
