During the holidays, these handcrafted birds are created by children in Mexico and hung in the classroom as decorations. In this art project, students will learn how to create these whimsical decorations themselves. Because this is a more complicated project, TIDES recommends using it with students in 4th grade and higher.

This image of a paper bird was photographed in a home in Ocotopec, Mexico, during the Day of the Dead observance in 2008, and inspired this project.
