Step 1: Get the Bald Eagle Craft Printable

Download the Free Bald Eagle Printable. You will be stapling the templates to sheets of colored paper and cutting out shapes up to 10 at a time.

Step 2: Staple and Cut Out the Eagle Shapes

Once you have the print outs, staple them to up to 10 sheets of copy paper, 5 sheets of cardstock or 5-8 sheets of construction paper.

Did you know, you can staple together 10 pieces of copy paper and cut out 10 shapes at a time?! That’s my SECRET to fast & easy crafting.

Stapling the paper is very important because it makes sure it doesn’t move as you cut. The more staples the better. Cardstock is the thickest so you may only be able to cut 5 sheets at a time.

Tip: While you’re cutting, if you’ve cut off all parts of the pages that have staples, make sure to re-staple the sheets that are left.

Whenever you’re cutting multiple sheets at a time, make sure they are always stapled together!

Extra Tip: You can stack up to 8 sheets of red, white, and blue paper and cut out all of your stars at one time. Remember you can stack 8 sheets of paper (white, brown, yellow) and cut out a bunch of shapes at one time.

Step 3: How to Assemble

The kids will just need to glue it all together!

Glue the tail and head onto the body
Glue the wings onto the back of the body
Glue on the beak
Glue on the “VOTE” label (optional)
Glue on the stars
Draw on the eyes

And you’re Finished!

It took me about 15 minutes to have the supplies for 20 kids. How amazing is that?! Now you’re ready to take your Eagle craft to your event.

This would be a great eagle craft for Memorial Day, Fourth of July, Labor Day, Veterans Day, preschool, elementary, Scouts or just a fun school party idea.
