What you will need: Small lunch-size paper plates, and
dinner-size paper plates for the nest, paint, glue gun or stapler, feathers, and
eyes.
How to make the bird craft:
1. Fold a small paper plate in half and cut it in half.
2. To make the head roll one half of the plate into a cone shape overlapping
the sides about 1/3 of the plate. Glue the cut side closed.
3. To make the body roll the other half of the paper plate into a cone shape
overlapping the side only about one inch at the edge. Glue the cone closed on
the cut edge. Fold the tip of the cone down about 1/2" and glue the head to the
folded tip.
4. Cut wings and feet from another paper plate and glue them to the body as
shown in the picture.
5. Paint the paper plate birds and glue on eyes. To finish glue feathers to
the top of the heads.
6. To make the nest fold a large paper plate in half and cut it in half. Glue
the plates together to form the nest shape. Cut the front part of the nest a
little lower than the back, and then paint the nest.
