I was thinking that this was something that kids could help out with and assemble with me - but those felt "feathers" ended up being a lot of work to cut out! And instead of regular glue, I used the hot glue gun, which hurt my fingers :( but in the end they were quite adorable - even though they couldn't stand up on their own... they are destined to be a treasure for years to come.
