White Doves

Materials Needed:

What I Did:

I supplied students with a white circle and a 1/4th size sheet of white paper, and a small yellow paper triangle. Students will fold the circle in half and the teachers come by and cut a small slit in the top of the flat side of the circle (close to the folded part).  Students will fold the 1/4th size sheet of white paper into a fan and slip it through the slit. Then students will glue the yellow beak to the inside of the circle. Then draw two eyes on either side of the folded circle.
