Geese and swans are both birds who love the water and both belongs to the Anatidae family. There are a few ways you can differ between both birds. Swans are larger, short legs and has longer necks. Geese are more comfortable working on land than the swans because their legs are longer.
There are a few goose and swan crafts children of different ages can make. You can make beautiful swans and geese from colored feathers and plastic Easter eggs or by using a special technique to fold a swan from towels (hotels often do this). You can even make swans from picoseconds and white pipe cleaners.
Making a Paper Standing Goose
This is a really easy and fun paper craft to do. Just decide whether you want to color the goose yourself or whether you want a pre-colorized Goose. Then choose a black an white or a color printable. Then you just need to cut out the goose from the print-out. Cut out the slits that you see on the Goose's body. Fold the Duck's head and neck in half and then fold the body and put it through the slit and put the head and neck into the slit.

balloon animal the quick and simple way. Before starting, you need to
remember that the key to making the swan correctly is how you
construct the neck and the beak. 1. Leave a three or four finger
length area of the balloon deflated. 2. With one hand, grab the
balloon at the nozzle, and with the other hand, grab the balloon at
the base of the swan's neck. 3. When twisting the body, try to make
the two bubbles equal in size and place the nozzle in the middle of
the twist. 4. Force air into the tip of the balloon to create the
curve of the neck.
