Ages 3.5 and older These are two crafts in two size versions that can help introduce a duck, goose or gander. The smaller version is easier for younger children and can be used for the same purpose or to help children learn baby animal names: duckling and gosling. A set of large and small version can be made to make a duck or geese family. It can be assembled in various ways and the process can be made more challenging and creative depending on the age of the children. The crafts can stand-up so they make great decorations and dramatic play toys. It is important that the craft be printed on heavy duty construction paper or card stock in order to stand up. The pieces can also be traced onto thin paper plates as well. These crafts are suitable to enhance related educational themes listed in the materials column. Visit these two lesson plans that include printable materials addressing the alphabet letter, animal facts, numbers, online jigsaw puzzles and more.
