This is part of my series on ways to spend quality time with your child each day in thirty minutes or less. Sometimes after all is said and done, we may only have 30 minutes or less to spend with our children each day. Make that time matter with quality activities that will make fond memories to last a lifetime. This is an easy and fast Valentine’s Day bird craft that you can make with your child.

There are ways to modify this activity.  I am giving you a free black and white printable pattern.  You can use it to cut out colored paper (as shown in my photos) or you can color it with your child. For other holidays and themes, use the blank template as a guide to using different colors, such as black and orange for Halloween!
