Umbrellabird

We had some time to spare before Sophie's nap so I did a last minute craft (a paperbag umbrellabird) with her.I got the idea from Alphabet Art : With A-Z Animal Art & Fingerplays (Williamson Little Hands Series) by Judy Press, but I had to modify it a bit. Since I had to do most of the craft, we completed it quite quickly. Unfortunately, I think we freaked out Ah Mah when she witnessed how Sophie did her art work!

I was quite alright with just making the umbrellabird without knowing anything about it. BUT Ah Gong had to ask me about it when he saw the end product on the wall. I had not even seen a real picture of the bird so I could not answer any of his questions! Thus, I found a real picture of the umbrellabird (just one of the three species) from the Internet and did a quick research on it. I even stumbled upon a song about the umbrellabird on YouTube! How amazing!
