Don’t you just love the bright wings and tail!! The real Toucan birds are black with colorful beaks but we decided to add more colors to our Toucan. My daughter wasn’t too excited with an all black bird. This is why we added these beautiful pink, yellow and red to our Toucan Craft.

How to make Colorful Toucan

This Colorful Toucan craft is super easy to make. I created the (click here for download) Toucan Craft Template and printed it out for my daughter. She cut out the beak, head, body and tail of the Toucan by herself. She then traced them on black crafting paper. For the beak she used yellow crafting paper. Next she glued together the different parts of the bird.

She then came too me because she wanted to add more color to her bird. We decided to use hot pink, yellow and red paper. We carefully cut out small rectangles of each color. Using scissors I helped her cut tiny strips. As you can see in the picture below.

Next we glued these colorful strips on the head of the bird, as a wing and on the tail of the Toucan. For the feet of the Toucan we used tiny strips of orange paper and folded it in accordion style and glued them on. Finally our Colorful Toucan Bird was ready. 

We then decide to make a branch for the Colorful Toucan Craft to sit on. For that we used a strip of brown paper bag and twisted it to give some texture to the branch. We then cut out some green leafs and used flowers to create a beautiful Rainforest theme.

This was the perfect Rainforest Craft for our Rainforest study unit. While making the Toucan Craft I discussed features of a Rainforest with my daughter. We also discussed how important it is to protect the Rainforests. 

We then discussed the different types of birds that live in the Rainforests and how most of them are becoming endangered!
