DLTK's Holiday Crafts for Kids
Native American Girl Paper Craft

Contributed by Leanne Guenther

This is a simple cut and paste paper craft that is easy for young children to make.

Print out the craft template of choice.
Colour (if making the black and white craft).
Cut out the pieces. This step may require adult assistance. I usually let my youngest cut the large pieces (like the dress) and I cut out the more complicated pieces (like the braid)
Glue the pieces together:
- Glue the legs onto the body (dress)
- Glue the arms onto the body
- Glue the hands onto the end of the arms
- Glue the head onto the body
- Glue the long hair onto the head
- Glue the headband onto the hair
- Glue the feathers behind the head
- Glue the baby into one of the hands or behind the back.
There is a small template (the craft has fewer and smaller pieces and fits on one page). The general assembly works the same but it's a bit quicker to color in and assemble. I always prefer the full sized templates, but I know some people have limited refrigerator space so would rather have a smaller version *grin*.

Close template window when done printing to return to this screen.
Set page margins to zero if you have trouble fitting the template on one page (FILE, PAGE SETUP or FILE, PRINTER SETUP in most browsers).
