New Zealand Kiwi Craft – Flip Flap

A fun kiwi bird template that can be used for a wide variety of learning activities. Write or draw whatever you wish on the body ‘flaps’. Add as many flaps as you’d like.

Two Options:
♦ Kiwi – on paper with a border. Staple the flaps to the body. Less cutting so this option may suit younger students.
♦ Kiwi – cut out and staple the flaps to the body.

Two Orientations:
♦ Kiwi facing right.
♦ Kiwi facing left.

Two Options for Stapling:
♦ At the neck – turn the pages sideways.
♦ At the top – lift the pages up.

Included:
♦ Kiwi – with page border, tree branches and the word ‘Kiwi’.
♦ Kiwi - body (for cutting out).
♦ 1x feathered body piece and 1 x blank body piece.
♦ 2x feathered body pieces.
♦ 2x blank body pieces.
♦ 2x lined body pieces.

Some Examples of Use:
♦ Reading response activity (eg Māori myths and legends).
♦ Facts about kiwis / New Zealand / New Zealanders.
♦ Poetry.
♦ Art – make a background and glue the kiwi onto it.
♦ Conservation topics.

Made on A4 size paper.
Approximate size when cut out: 27cm x 17cm.

A fairly basic shape to cut out. The only tricky part is cutting around the whiskers. I highly recommend just cutting them off.

Please note that this resource is similar to a kiwi template that I have for the story How the Kiwi Lost its Wings. Head to my store to view.
