“A crow!” chuckled Henry. “Only one would need black paper—”
“Take dark paper and crayon it black,” cried Jimsi.
“Hush!” Mother began again. “If anybody interrupts again, we’ll wait and finish the letter after breakfast,” said she. So everybody hushed right up and waited, of course.
“The birds are cut from pieces of paper that are cut oblong and folded corner to corner. Draw the bird’s side outline with crayon on the white part of the paper and cut the bird out with scissors. This gives the body without wings.
To make wings for the bird, fold a paper somewhat smaller than the first and cut wings, leaving the folding of the paper forward instead of at top.
Cut a slit in this forward part of the wings and slip them over the bird’s body. Tie a thread to the top of the bird’s body and see how well you can make it fly.
I think you’ll have enough play now to last a long long time, Katherine dear. I must stop. Goody-bye.
With a hug from
Crow.
P. S.
Why don’t you all go over to the little lame girl’s home this morning and have Katherine’s store there. I think she’d like it.
