These are two crafts in two sizes that can help introduce a
duck, goose or gander. The smaller version is easier for younger
children and can be 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. The crafts can stand-up so they make great decorations and dramatic play toys. It is important to print to card stock or size construction paper to fit your printer. The templates can also be traced onto thin paper plate and cut out. Visit these two lesson plans that include printable materials addressing the alphabet letter, animal facts, numbers, online jigsaw puzzles and more: Duck lesson plan activities | Goose lesson plan activities Both crafts can be made by replacing template #1 (body) for a standard thin (10"- 8") paper plate and the small version can be assembled by using a 6"-5" small thin paper plate.
