On the sixth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me 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 sixth day of Christmas this year, my daughter and I made six paper geese laying paper eggs.

- Black marker
- Scissors
- Glue
Instructions
- Cut the white paper into six figure 8 shapes with one circle larger than the other.

- Cut the orange paper into six beak shapes and twelve goose feet shapes.
- Glue one beak shape onto the bottom of the small circle of each figure 8 shape.
- Glue two feet shapes onto the bottom back of the large circle of each figure 8 shape.
- Draw two eyes above the orange beak on each goose with the black marker.
