One of two bonus Storycraft posts of two-hour activities devised and delivered by guest artists and funded by Shropshire Council.

Queen of the Birds by Suzanne Thomas

This challenge is for you to make a buzzard with a wren in its wing to help you tell the story “The Queen of the Birds”.

You will need:

• cardboard, (old cereal packets/delivery packets work well)
• glue
• pencils, pens, paints or crayons
• sticky tape
• paper and scrap paper, if you’re collaging
• a pair of scissors

Here’s an audio version of the story:
