Peacedove crafting
This year the Netherlands celebrates 75 years of liberation. You probably want to make a nice craft with that! You could make a peace dove out of paper plates. They're already white, so that's handy. Do you think an ordinary white pigeon is too simple? Get that your most beautiful markers, wax crayons or crayons for the day and make it beautiful artificial pigeons! You could also enrich the pigeon with feathers, sequins, beads, glitter stones or like here, pasted with Playmais. No matter how you make the freedom pigeon, don't forget the essence of Freedom. The freedom to make the pigeon as YOU want is also paramount here!

Soon we will make our own peace pigeon at De Knutseljuf Ede with 50 children. That must be very cozy! To have a few examples, we have made 3. And it is also useful for those who want to make a fun craft with the theme of Freedom! Also, pigeons are fun to craft for a wedding, or just because they are nice animals. I'm sure you want to make one too! That's why you will find the explanation with photos below.



Supplies: 3 white paper plates, scissors, stapler, piece of orange paper (beak), colours (e.g. crayola markers), feathers, material to decorate, wobble eyes, puncture pen (for the twig in beak) and green chenille thread (pipe carrier)
