About This Project

A 5–10 minutes craft for ages 3–10, using supplies you likely already have — Scissors, Pencils, and Construction Paper.

GlueStick supports kids from setup to cleanup. After they choose a project, we guide them through gathering the supplies, making it, and cleaning up when they're done. We'll even help them share it safely with trusted family and friends.

Ad-free and kid-safe library — designed by a mom who wants kids to explore and create independently.

    "Are you as excited to make this as I am?"

    Step 1: Print or Draw feather outlines

    May need grown-up help
    Print the feather templates or draw feather outlines on construction paper. Draw a line down the middle of the feather.

    Step 2: Cut out feathers and make small cuts

    Cut out the feathers. Then, make small cuts toward the center of the feather all around the edge.

    Step 3: Create!

    Glue the feathers to paper to make a collage. Or, tie them to a string to make a mobile. You can create whatever you want!
