Father and Mother Goose

Collect all pages-cleaned and sized to make
a miniature book for your dolls.

  Said Father Goose: " I think I 'll take

A stroll this morning to the lake."

Mother Goose said: "Then I'll go, too,

And maybe take a swim with you."

       Assemble a mini doll sized book: Left, is the Father and Mother Goose's illustration and verse. Visitors can collect all the bird illustrations and verse from "Bird Children" to print and construct a small book of verse for their dolls. Simply drag each png. into a Word Document, print, cut out all of the images the same size and staple the pages together at the left edge. Squeeze out some white school glue along the stapled edge of the pages and attach a cardboard cover.

"Sending someone on a wild goose chase" is an idiom that means - a frustrating or lengthy undertaking that accomplishes very little.

 

 

 

 

How to Cut a Goose Paper Chain 

 

Two important tips to remember: the longer the paper the more often the design repeats.
The thinner the paper, the easier it is to cut.

Directions:

1. Measure the length and height of your template in order to determine how much paper you will need before folding it.
2. Use and accordion fold to prepare the paper before cutting.
3. Trace the design so that two sides touch opposite each other along the folds of the paper.
4. Cut away the negative spaces around your design.
