Directions
In advance, use the patterns provided at the end of the chapter to cut out enough dove
bodies for each child from construction or copier paper. Cut a slit in the middle and
punch a hole above the slit, where indicated. Pre-cut and fold a piece of paper into a fan
for wings. Let the children color the doves. Give each of the children a folded wing and
have them put the wing through the slit in the dove. Fan out the wing a bit. Tie yarn into a
loop through the hole. Children can then fly their bird by holding onto the yarn.
