Instructions

Select red, white, yellow, green blue, dark brown, or black colored craft papers for the paper macaw craft. Trace the body base and the tail pattern on red paper, the wing patterns on the green, yellow and blue paper; the beak and legs on black or dark brown paper and trace the last pattern on white paper (the face).
Cut out the traced patterns nicely.
Grab the wing patterns and glue them together one by one; place the smaller one on the top of the bigger one.
Glue the white semi-circular pattern on the front side of the body base’s head part.
Glue the beak to the front side of the head part and the wing on the middle of the body base.
Glue the tail near the bottom side of the body base and glue the legs at the bottom side of it. Use a black sharpie to draw the eye of the paper macaw on the white part.
