A Tinkerwren to color, cut out and fold into a bird that stands on a shelf. We are folding real paper prototypes before we put this one up, because a craft that only works on screen is not a craft.

Printing
A few practical notes
Every sheet is one page, sized for ordinary US Letter paper, and drawn in black and white so it prints on any printer without using much ink.
Crayons and colored pencils behave best. Markers may bleed through, so slip a spare sheet underneath if a child is using them.
You are welcome to print these for your family, your classroom, or your library. Please do not sell them or host them elsewhere.
New sheets are added here from time to time. This page keeps the same address, so a book that points here will keep working.
