Not many people know that April 1 is marked not only by the day of laughter, the day of the brownies, but also by the day of birds. The history of this holiday begins in 1906 with the signing of the International Convention for the Protection of Birds. But in the more ancient times the arrival of migratory birds was noted especially, as a sign of the onset of spring and the renewal of nature. In honor of this event, the housewives baked larks from dough, and children under the guidance of adults hung out houses for birds. Nowadays the tradition to celebrate this holiday has been renewed since 1994. In the kindergarten and school, children are preparing for the day of birds crafts from a variety of materials, making a symbol of spring - a bird made of natural material, cotton wool, paper and cloth. Making souvenirs of birds is an excellent way for children to show their creativity and get to know the world of birds.
The work of "Birds"
We need:
- paper napkins;
- thick threads of brown color;
- colored paper;
- balloon;
- scissors;
- PVA glue.
Manufacturing
- We roll two balls from the napkin: big for the torso, and small for the head. Fix the shape by pulling the balls with threads. We will glue the head to the trunk.
- We will cut out oval-shaped feathers from colored paper, glue them on our bird, forming wings and tail.
- From color cardboard we will cut out a beak, paws and eyes, we will stick to a bird.
- Let's make a nest. To do this, inflate the balloon and wrap it with threads, pre-greased with glue. When the threads are completely dry, pierce the ball and cut the workpiece into two halves.
- Fill the nests with straw or packing mesh, put our birds there. The handicraft is ready.

- Pattern of the wing is outlined on a piece of felt or fleece.
- We cut out the torso of the bird, not forgetting the allowances for seams (1-1.5 cm). Since the felt and fleece do not require additional processing of the edges, we cut out the wings from them along the contour of the pattern, without allowances.
- In order for the work to be suspended, prepare a piece of decorative braid.
- Insert the braid between the details of the trunk (Fig. 16) so that its edges look slightly above.
- We sew the body along the contour, leaving a small hole for eversion and packing. In places where sharp angles are obtained, the fabric must be cut close to the seam.
