- Cut out pieces

- Using scissors, make small snips along outer sides of V for feathers

- Glue feet at bottom of V body

Extension Activities:

- Play a game of Twister.  It is a great way to teach colors, left/right, and following directions.
- Do some drawing with the letter.  See what all they can turn a "U" into (i.e. umbrella, cup, etc.)

- During a trip to a grocery store, ask your child to identify the different vegetables they see in the produce area.
