Are your kids ready to create one of the most beautiful birds out there? With our swirly paper peacock craft for kids, you can make this paper bird craft a reality. Children will love seeing the swirling feathers made in the peacock’s signature colors.

You can adapt this craft to suit all ages – younger children can work with fewer strips of paper, and instead of curling them, they can make zig-zag folds. On the other hand, older kids can work with a larger number of strips if you want to give them more of a challenge.
