Make this adorable Q for Quail Craft using our Printable Template that’s perfect for learning about birds, desert animals, letter Q, or animal habitats.

We move on to our next A to Z Alphabet Animal Craft with the letter Q.  This craft is from our eBook – A to Z Alphabet Animal Crafts for Kids. 

Quails are quaint little birds that tend to live on the ground, even building nests among the grass. I didn’t know much about quails except for hearing about them on cooking shows! But these little birds are unique in their own way, with that distinctive plume. Learning more about this little bird led us to making a Q for Quail Craft!

Q for Quail Craft with Printable Template

This adorable quail craft needs a printable template, Felt and a CD to make. You could easily substitute the Felt with Foam or Construction paper, even cardstock.

Supplies needed to make this Q for Quail Craft:

• Printable Template
• Gray Felt or Construction Paper or craft foam sheets
• Black Felt or Construction Paper or craft foam sheets
• Yellow Felt or Construction Paper or craft foam sheets
• An old CD
• Black pipe cleaner
• Scissors
• Glue Gun or Glue stick if using paper.
• Googly Eyes

Steps to make this Q for Quail Craft:

Print the Craft template on an A4 or Letter Sized paper. Cut out all the parts – the grey body and head, black face, wing and head as well as the yellow beak.

Use these cutout templates as your reference points and trace onto Felt. We used a 2mm stiff felt to make this craft. Alternately, you could use construction paper or craft foam in similar colors.

Use a Glue gun ( when using felt) to secure the quail’s body on top of an old CD. Stick on the head. Glue the face, wing and tail, which should be stuck at the back. Stick on the beak and the pipe cleaner as the plume on top.

Add the eyes and your quail craft is ready
