Printable Falcon Craft

falconcraft

Falcons are such beautiful birds; we couldn’t pass up crafting one after we saw them featured on National Geographic’s North America TV series. On the show, the mother falcon was very protective of her babies and saved them from a huge snake. She also warned off a group of pelicans by crumpling their wings so they would fall down into the water. It was pretty amazing.

So, with a new-found appreciation for these birds, I designed the printable and Lorelai did the craft. She decided to paint this one blue since we are out of brown paint. I had to help quite a bit with assembling the craft – the wings are a bit tricky. I designed it very realistically, so be sure to look at the guide and position the wings correctly. Print below and enjoy!
