On the seventh day of Christmas, my true love gave to me seven swans a-swimming, six geese a-laying, five gold rings, four calling birds, three French hens, two turtle doves, and a partridge in a pear tree. For the seventh day of Christmas this year, my daughter and I made seven paper swans swimming in paper water.

- White, orange, and blue construction paper
- Black and blue markers
- Scissors
- Glue
Instructions
- Cut seven circles from the white paper.
- Cut a wedge from the circles to form a thick G shape.
- Cut seven tiny triangles from the orange paper.
- Draw a black dot with the black marker on the long end of each white swan shape.
- Glue an orange triangle to the back of each swan head.
- Use the blue marker to draw wiggly waves on the blue paper.
- Glue the swans to the blue paper.
- Display the seven swans a-swimming.
