On the fourth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me four calling birds, three French hens, two turtle doves, and a partridge in a pear tree. For the fourth day of Christmas this year, my daughter and I crafted four calling birds from construction paper, yarn, and jewels.
Materials
- Two colors of construction paper
- Yarn
- Jewels
- Scissors
- Glue
Instructions
- Cut four bird shapes from one color of construction paper.
- Cut the yarn into medium length pieces.
- Glue the yarn onto the tales of the bird shapes.
- Glue the birds onto the second color of construction paper with the yarn side down.
- Decorate the birds with jewels.
- Display the four calling birds.

Perfect – I think we even have a bucket of plastic jewels laying around from one of the kids’ bracelet sets!
