How to make the craft
To make the craft you will have to cut the egg cups as you see in the images and that two parts fit one inside the other. Before fitting them, the children have to paint what will be the body of the duck in the color they want. Once painted, the cartons are fitted and a hollow part will remain.
This is where the beak of the white-tailed duck will be placed. The beak will be a small triangle cut out of cardboard in orange. Then you just have to take a brush and paint the duck's eyes.
As you can see, it is a very simple and very easy craft to do by and for children. Maybe it won't be perfect or the ducks are the most beautiful in the world. But what matters is that the children have a good time and enjoy a good time of family crafts.
They enjoy the process more than the result and what they want is to be by your side enjoying it!
