Create a beautiful showy peacock with a handprint and two colours of poster paint.
You will need:
Construction paper
Blue and green poster paint
Black pen
Print a single blue handprint in the middle of your paper. The palm will be the peacocks body and the fingers the tail feathers. Add green finger prints at the ends of each finger to be the eyes of the peacock's feathers. When dry draw a neck and head shape on the body and add the legs with the black pen.
The peacock is the national bird of India. As you will see from the photo below, you can make a glorious peacock with a paper plate and some other craft cupboard supplies!
