Here's an example of what one of mine looks like for the bird theme, it's pretty simple:

Dove Hand Activity

[Picture of the finished project]

Objectives:
1. To develop creativity
2. To develop small motor skills through painting, cutting, coloring and pasting.

Supplies:
• Crayons
• Paper
• Glue
• Paint
• Feathers

Directions:
Have the children hold their four fingers together and stick their hands up and place their hands on the paper. Have each child trace his/her hands onto the paper with a crayon. Cut out both handprints and have them glue the two handprints together at the palms. Fold down the thumb for the head and have the children paint and decorate the shape as a dove or a pigeon.

That is very nice! I would add at the bottom three to five open-ended questions (title it REVIEW) you could ask the children when they're done. This is something we were required to do in our observation preschool and they had to be open-ended questions meaning the answer could NOT be YES or NO. Instead of "Is it white?" ask "What color is it?" etc. Sometimes it is hard to think of a few open-ended questions so I would recommend write a few down even if you don't use them. It would be perfect if you have someone helping with a project because they might not know what to say during the project.
