Pine Cone Duck

This pinecone craft is all it's quacked up to be!

 ducky pinecone

What you need:

  • 2 small, round pinecones (One cone slightly smaller than the other makes a good duck's head.)
  • scraps of green and orange construction paper
  • craft glue
  • pair of googly eyes

 

What you do:

  1. Glue the smaller pinecone on top of the larger one to make the duck's head and body. Set aside to dry.
  2. Cut two feet and a bill out of orange construction paper. Note that the bill is folded in half to make an upper and lower bill.
  3. Cut two wings out of green construction paper.
  4. Dab glue on the feet and lay the pinecone "body" on top of them.
  5. Put a small amount of glue on the edges of the wings and slide one wing between the cone scales on each side of the body.
  6. Put glue on the folded edge of the bill and slide it between the scales on the front of the head.
  7. Dab a small amount of glue onto the googly eyes and stick them in place.
  8. Let the glue dry thoroughly before handling your pinecone critter.
