DLTK's Bible Crafts
American Angel Paper Craft
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) |
Directions:
| Print template of choice. The large templates are easier for
young children to do as the pieces are bigger.
|
| Color the template pieces if you are doing the B&W version (red, white
and blue!)
|
| 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):
- the dress (blue)
- the head/neck
- the hair (onto the head)
- the wings
- the star (the points should go right at the waist of the angel)
- the hands (so they overlap the star a little)
- the feet (underneath the large piece)
|
| look at the image of the finished craft if you get stuck. |
| 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).
