Puppet Bird




This storyteller Bird is my son's favorite prop when we roleplay or have a storytelling session. This bird is very easy to make and certainly adds a smile to the face and makes storytelling even more interesting.


 Things We Need

To make this bird we need:

  • A Square Piece of paper ( 21cm by 21cm)
  • Coloring pens
  • Pencil
  • Scissors

 Folding the Bird

  • First, lay the paper on a flat surface, so that one of its corners is facing you.
  • Now, fold it along the diagonal. Crease the folded edge will fingernails and then unfold the paper.
  • Next, fold the two side corners to the creased diagonal and then fold the paper in half along the same creased diagonal at the center.
  • Measure 14 cm from the bottom and put a mark with a pencil. Then connect this mark with the side corner with dotted lines.
  • Fold along the dotted lines and continue folding and wrapping this extruded part until a small triangular flap remains.
  • Tuck this flap in the pocket to lock it properly. This will be the beak of the bird . Crease all the folds nicely.
  • Cut a small triangular piece near the other end to make tail of the bird.

Adding Makeup

  • Color the bird in bright vibrant colors of your choice.
  • Now, insert your index finger into the pocket at the bottom and our talkative bird will be ready to tell us stories.
