Craft project #24: Paper plates parrot


I actually found templates for the parrot's appendages in a scissors crafts handbook, but I think you could easily freehand templates based on the image you see here. Just use colored paper to make a wing, feet, tail, googly eyes, and a beak. The message he carries is based on a selection from our Book. I let the girls paint the two paper plates with water colors. Then we stapled the plates together and pasted and taped the parts on the birds. This is also a pretty simple craft, but one I get lots of comments on from locals, so I think it could be a fun craft for a SS program.
