The bald eagle is a majestic creature.
Eagle craft projects are appropriate for patriotic American or Fourth of July events, but they can also be an activity for children when learning about eagles or forest habitats. If used for learning purposes, encourage kids to make their crafts as accurate as possible and look at pictures of real eagles.
Paper Bag Eagle Puppet
To make a bald eagle puppet, cover the bottom of a folded brown paper lunch sack with white paper. This is the eagle's face. When you put your hand inside the bag, you can lift the flap to open and close the mouth. Cut an orange beak, yellow feet and brown wings out of construction paper and glue them onto your puppet. Add wiggly eyes or make eyes from paper. You can also put orange or pink paper inside the mouth and add feathers to the body.
Handprint Eagle
Draw and cut out the shape of an eagle from construction paper, missing the wings. Make a separate piece for each body part that is a different color and glue all the parts together. Finally, trace the outline of your hands onto brown paper and cut them out. Glue them onto your eagle as the wings.
Cardboard Tube Eagle
This craft is a good way to reuse an empty toilet paper or paper towel roll. Start by covering a cardboard tube with brown paper. Draw a head on white paper and add eyes and a beak with markers or colored paper pieces. Cut out the head and glue it to the cardboard tube. Cut out wings from brown paper and glue them to the back of the tube. You can just cut a general wing shape from a single piece of paper, or you can cut out individual feathers and glue them all together to create wings. Use multiple shades of brown for an even more interesting effect. Cut out orange feet and a white tail and glue them to the tube.
Eagle Wreath
Cut out a cardboard ring the shape and size you want your wreath to be. Try reusing an empty cereal box for this. Cut out strips of colored construction paper about an inch wide and 4 inches long. Use red, white and blue paper if you want to make a patriotic wreath. Glue the ends of the strips together to make rolls of paper. Arrange them in rows to cover the cardboard ring, except for a gap at the bottom, and glue them down. Draw and cut out an eagle using colored paper and add your eagle to the bottom of the wreath.
