We will be celebrating International Bird Day very soon. Help your child find out what birds exist, teach how to make crafts, costumes of winged creatures.
Bird Day - scenario
After reviewing it, it will be easier for parents to come up with a costume for their child, and teachers will find out what game and cognitive tasks can be included in the event program.
The hall is decorated accordingly. You can put, decorate walls and windows with twigs to create a forest atmosphere. There are many bird songs. The teacher turns on one of them, the guys enter the hall to the music.
They are wearing matching suits. Someone represents a woodpecker, a cuckoo, a dove, a sparrow, a swan.
The presenter says riddles, the answer will be the character of some child. Children should find out and answer which bird is meant.
The next competition sounds like "Names of Birds". The presenter asks questions, the guys must guess the specific bird. Here's a rough list of questions:
- Why was the cuckoo named that way (because it makes a "cuckoo" sound).
- What act influenced the fact that the group of birds was called sparrows (these birds eat grain and seeds and tried to eat them where people cultivated the crops. Therefore, the workers shouted "Thief-bey!").
- Why is the magpie called white-sided (because it has white sides).
- For which the bird was nicknamed the pika (it is wailing, as if it is squeaking).
- buckets;
- baskets;
The containers are placed at a certain distance. Children take turns to hit them with a small ball. There are three attempts for each participant. For one hit, 1 point is assigned, at the end of the competition the results are summed up, the winner is selected.
The next task is intellectual. Cards with pictures of birds and pictures of food for them should be prepared. In addition to him, you need to prepare the wrong cards, which will depict what the birds cannot eat. For example, salt, black bread.
Two cards will depict millet and simple. Children should put photographs of waxwings, sparrows, siskins, oatmeal, and goldfinches on this bulk food. Since these birds are very fond of this cereal.
Children will put photos with waxwing and bullfinch on cards with images of elderberry, mountain ash, bird cherry. These birds love these berries.
Nuthatch, titmouse, woodpecker should be placed on melon and watermelon seeds. And next to dry twigs of nettle, quinoa and burdock, place bullfinch, goldfinch, titmouse, siskin.
And sunflower seeds are very fond of nuthatches, tits, bullfinches, sparrows.
The next game is mobile, called "Gathering of Birds". Children in feathered costumes are called. One bird guard is chosen. Others at this time at their meeting must decide important issues. As soon as a stranger appears near the group, the guard must give a voice, imitating the singing or cry of the very bird in the costume of which he is dressed.
On bird day in kindergarten, the scenario may include suggested calm and active games, as well as others.

Draw a pattern in the shape of a cone or sharp triangle. Place it on the front of the wings, circle. Paint over the space between these shapes with black marker, leaving the triangles white.
To make the woodpecker costume further, these wings need to be sewn to the sleeves of the T-shirt and the back of its neck. The child will put on black boots on his feet, and a hat needs to be sewn on his head. Thick knitwear is suitable for this product. You can use leggings or an old sweater. As you can see in the pattern, the hat has four gussets. In this case, three need to be cut from red fabric, and the fourth front one from black.

- You can stitch these ribbons onto a rectangle of fabric, make wings by tying the sewn-on ribbons around your neck. Or sew them together, and only then stitch them to a vest from a T-shirt.
- For a skirt, a rectangular canvas is taken. From above it must be tucked twice, stitched off. Pass the elastic here, measured along the girl's waist. At the bottom, the skirt is hemmed and decorated with a lighter strip of tulle.
The hat is made in the form of a cap with a visor; you can take a ready-made headdress of a suitable color. Lush shorts must be gathered at the bottom with an elastic band.
If you need to quickly make a sparrow costume, then put on a brown skirt on the girl, and on the boy trousers of the same color, which are tied up from below or elastic bands are inserted here. On a white turtleneck, you can sew a lace light collar or tie a frill, quickly sew wavy wings from a brown canvas.
All that remains is to make a sparrow mask. She will need the following materials:

If you want to make a bright bird costume, then take the next master class into service.
Prepare:
- fabric, pleasant to the touch;
- bright flaps;
- for strings - soft ribbons;

Overcast the edges of these blanks. Make feathers from bright patches, the height of these parts is 5 cm.But it is most convenient to cut strips of fabric, making their edges wavy.
Put the prepared strip on the base of one wing, on the bottom row, sew it on. You will do the same with the second wing. Gradually moving upstairs, attach other decorated colored ribbons.
To connect the two pieces, sew a strip of fabric on top, it must be long enough for the child to tie these wings around his neck. On the remaining free upper part of the wings, wash the remaining feathers.
According to this template, you can sew an outfit of almost any bird for the holiday of Bird Day. You just need to take the flaps of the appropriate color. If you are making a sparrow costume, then use cuts of brown and gray fabric.
The same goes for the mask, matching colors will help make it for different birds. Here are the materials from which you will assemble this piece of the costume, from:
- felt;
- rubber bands;
- thread.
Transfer the pattern to the fabric and cut it out.
You will need two such blanks to fit a triangular nose cut out of felt between them.
Mark the elastic to fit the child's face. If it is thin, tie knots at both ends. Paste these places into the sides of the mask. Sew around the edges.
If you want to decorate it, then from green and blue felt you can cut out the same leaves as in the sample in the photo. On the day of birds in kindergarten or at school, it is quite possible to put on such masks on the children of elementary grades.
Of course, how can you do without themed crafts on a day like this? They can be used to decorate the venue of the event, donate to each other or take it to the competition.
We make crafts for the Day of Birds!
To make a bird in a nest, take:
- colored paper;
- balloon;
- thick brown threads;
- paper napkins;
- PVA glue;
- scissors.
From colored cardboard you need to cut out the paws, beak and eyes for the birds. While the glue dries, make a nest for this character. To do this, you need to wrap the inflated balloon with threads. It is preliminarily greased with glue.
When the yarn is dry, the ball is pierced with a needle, the blank of threads frozen in this position is cut into two halves.
Place straw or yarn similar to this material in the resulting nest. Loose satin ribbons can be used. Tie the nests to ropes and hang them on the trees, which are also made by hand.
Thus, you can decorate the hall in which the Bird Day in the kindergarten will be held.
Also, the children can be invited to make these birds, in order to then play a small performance with the participation of birds.
First take:
- cotton pads;
- wooden skewers;
- glue;
- plastic eyes;
- scissors;
- colored paper.
Cut the beak out of colored paper, glue it and the eyes on your face. Attach the cotton pads halves as the bird's wings. Let the kids decorate their creations with colored ribbon.
To hang the bird later, insert a piece of tape of the appropriate size between the two blanks. Sew these parts together on the wrong side, leaving a small free space at the bottom of the tail. Turn the bird through it, straightening the corners with a skewer or pencil.
Stuff the feathery padding polyester over this edge, sew these places with a blind seam. Using a thread and a needle, embroider the bird's eyes, and attach the wings using a decorative stitch.
Sew a button on the tip of the tail of the craft, after which the hand-made bird is ready.

A titmouse costume will help your daughter stand out from the crowd. The image of a bird, which symbolizes the arrival of winter with its appearance, will be appropriate to look at a children's matinee. How do you make such a suit? Read about it below.
Prefabricated option
The image of a titmouse should be made in a color contrast of blue and yellow. And since any girl wants to go to a matinee in a dress, it is necessary to choose clothes of a festive style in the chosen color scheme. The titmouse costume will be made from a loose blue dress. It should be made of lightweight fabric to create the illusion of flight during movement. A yellow corset should be worn on top of this dress. If a girl does not have such an element in her wardrobe, then you can replace it with a beautiful sleeveless blouse. The main thing is to maintain the correct harmony so that the top is not too yellow. If, nevertheless, you have not found the optimal combination, you can complement the image with another blue layer. It will turn out very realistic - the bottom and back will be blue, and the belly will be yellow. So, the titmouse costume made with your own hands is almost ready, it remains to make a headdress. To do this, you need to take a blue hat and sew a yellow fur edging onto it. From papier-mâché or just cardboard, you need to make a cone-beak. Now the only thing left to do is to glue the eyes to the cap. If desired, you can decorate the bird's head with black fur.
Matinee costume
This option is similar to the previous one, but with the only difference that it will have to be sewn, and not assembled from existing clothes. To make a titmouse costume, you need yellow and blue fabric. First of all, you need to sew a skirt-sun out of blue material. You can choose yellow fabric for lining. Now let's move on to making the top. We sew a yellow vest according to the pattern of an ordinary rectangle. Leave hand holes in the side seams. The sleeves will be blue and tiered. They will look original if the edge of each tier ends with a wave symbolizing feathers. Remaining It will consist of three parts. The right and left will be yellow, and the center blue. It remains to attach the beak and sew on the eyes.
Funny titmouse
Such a suit is easy to make. You will need corduroy shorts to make it. Wear them over white tights. It is advisable to choose a turtleneck of the same color for them. A yellow vest will help make the costume recognizable. In order for the image of the bird to look like winter, you will need to trim some parts of the suit with fur, for example, the legs of shorts and a vest around the perimeter. There was little left to do, namely: two semicircles should be cut out of velvet or velvet, the length of which should be equal to the length of the child's hand from wrist to shoulder. These details should also be trimmed with fur, and you can also make an applique of stripes in the middle of the wing. The wings will be attached to the arms with elastic bands. They need to be sewn at least three. The titmouse costume is almost ready. It remains to make a fur hat, and black fur needs to be sewn on just below the crown of the head. A cardboard beak and paper eyes should be attached to the front of the headdress.
Titmouse in ruffles
This look is incredibly feminine and delicate. It will suit absolutely any girl and even a girl. It consists of a skirt, top and bolero. Sewing a titmouse costume for a girl is a laborious process. Let's start with the skirt. To make it, you need a piece of fabric and a wide elastic band. We cut the material obliquely into strips 10, 20 and 30 cm long. Now they need to be processed with a zigzag stitch or using an overlock from two edges. Lace should be sewn to one side of each strip. Now you can collect the skirt. Sew ruffles to a wide elastic band in layers. A yellow top also needs to be decorated with lace. To do this, thin strips of beautiful frills of the same color as the decorative trim of the skirt should be sewn into the seams of the product. You need to make a bolero from blue fabric. To prevent it from slipping off, elastic bands should be sewn on the wrists, and strings should be sewn at the neckline. The collar and sleeves must be trimmed with lace.
If you wish, you can make a bib. It is cut on a bias in yellow fabric. The edges must be processed with an overlock, then lace is sewn to one of the sides. This decorative element must be attached to the bolero collar. It remains to make a hat. To do this, you need to find a headdress to match, sew a small veil and several feathers to it.

We offer an interesting and original outfit in which your little girl will flutter at the party like a real bird. In addition, it is simple to perform and does not require special sewing skills.
Skirt
We are preparing a children's suit of a titmouse with a fluffy skirt sun-flared in two layers. We use blue and yellow tulle of different textures. Fabric consumption is approximate. Model parameters: height - 128 cm, waist - 60 cm, length of the top skirt - 30 cm, length of the bottom - 37 cm.
The top of the product is made of blue satin, the bottom is of yellow tulle. You will need:
- blue atlas 1.5 m wide - 1.2 m;
- yellow tulle 1.5 m wide - 1.5 m;
- satin bias tape in blue;
- decorative blue elastic for a belt - 55 cm;
- paper for patterns;
- scissors, tape measure, chalk.
How to correctly build a pattern for a skirt-sun?
To sew a titmouse costume for the New Year, we are preparing a pattern ¼ paper products. We make calculations:
- We calculate the radius - this is the width of the skirt in the belt: FROM: (2 * 3.14) = 60: 6.28 = 9.55 cm.
- On our pattern ½, which means we set aside 4.78 cm in the upper semicircle. Be sure to take into account that the skirt will be gathered at the waist, so we will deepen the waistline by 1-1.5 cm along the shared thread.
- From the center of the waistline, set aside the length of the skirt - 30 cm down and on the sides. Plus 2 cm - seam allowances.
- We connect the dots and cut them out. Well, the titmouse costume pattern is ready.
- Let's move on to working with fabric. We start with a blue satin top skirt. Fold the fabric twice diagonally, pin the pattern to it with pins, outline it by adding 2 cm to the seams and cut it out. It is not necessary to sew such a skirt on the sides, the circumference is complete. Gather the fabric around the waist.
- We do the same with tulle, adding 7 cm in length. And also we collect it at the waist. We connect both parts of the skirt and sew to the belt, for which we use a blue decorative elastic band.
- Sew a blue bias tape along the edges of the upper skirt. Tulle does not need finishing. So, the skirt is ready. We turn to sewing a vest.
Vest
To sew a titmouse costume for a girl with our own hands, we use a blue and yellow satin for a vest. Decorate the finished product with a ribbon of feathers along the edges. For a girl with a height of 128 cm you will need:
- blue atlas - 35 cm;
- yellow satin - 35 cm;
- oblique satin trim for finishing;
- decorative feather braid;
- paper for patterns.
The vest consists of three parts: a blue back and two yellow front shelves. We cut out the model from paper, as shown in the figure below, outline it on the fabric, taking into account the seam allowance up to 2 cm.
Cut and sew on the sides. We process the edges As a decoration, we use a blue feather ribbon. Alternatively, you can add yellow and black - according to the color of the titmouse feathers. We decorate the entire vest along the edge. The same feathers can be sewn onto the sleeves of the raglan, which is worn under the vest. The color can be chosen blue. Decorate the titmouse breast with a black tie. You can take a ready-made one or make from the remains of felt, which is used for a hat.
Headdress
When creating a titmouse costume for a girl with your own hands, you need to think over a headdress. There are many options. It can be a headband with flowers and feathers, a bandana or a hat of different models. The main thing is that the main colors are present: blue, yellow and black. In our case, we sew a hat with a visor in the form of a bird's beak made of felt. This material perfectly holds its shape, does not require additional processing of cut edges, does not fade. If desired, you can replace it with other materials. So, you will need:
- felt blue, yellow and black;
- White.
How to prepare patterns is shown below.
Number 1 - beak, 2 - front shelf, 3 and 4 - side parts, 5 and 6 - back shelves, 7 - fastener.
We cut out all the details of the cap from paper, after making calculations. So, for parts 3 and 4, the base length is equal to the diameter of the head divided by 6. Then we lay out the patterns on the fabric, circle, adding a little to the seams, cut out and sew one by one. The beak is black, the rest of the details are blue and yellow, as shown in the picture. Cut out the eyes from white scotch tape, glue them on the hat on the sides. Pupils can be drawn with a marker or cut from the remnants of felt. Be sure to attach the fastener at the back. The attachment points are indicated on the pattern.
Well, a titmouse costume for a girl is made by hand. It remains to add a few details and you can go to the holiday.
Completing the image
As the basis of the outfit, we use a long-sleeved raglan in blue to match the skirt. We decorate it with a feather ribbon along the entire length of the sleeve. We put on ballet flats on our feet in tone, blue or black. They can also be decorated with feathers on top.
Well, as you can see, nothing complicated. The image turned out to be light, airy and very elegant. Just in time for the holiday. We wish your titmouse good luck!
