DIY Paper Plate Parrots – a Great Playdate Craft!

DIY Paper Plate Parrot, www.MomFavorites.com How many of you love bird crafts? We at  ArtsyCraftsyMom.com LOVE them!! I have a gang of Little girls who come home every weekend to make a craft and they almost always want to make something “cute” Here is one such very pretty craft for you.

DIY Paper Plate Parrots

Materials:
One small  circular paper plate – Either coloured or white
Water colours or Dot to Dot markers  in various shades
Glue
Yellow, red & white construction paper
Icecream stick
Brown foam
Staplers
Black marker

DIY Paper Plate Parrot Assembly:
Colour the paper plate in various bright colours. We used our dot to dot markers. This will form the body of the parrot. We coloured the center in a different colour and the sides of the paper plate in a different colour. Then used the dot to dot markers and added dots.

Cut a circle (4 inch wide ) from the red construction  paper for the head, 1inch circle in white paper for the Eye & yellow paper for the  comb & beak .

First make the Parrot face – Stick the beak & comb on the red circle using glue. Stick the White circle for the eye. Using Black marker, outline the beak and add a black circle for the eye.

Cut another piece of red or yellow construction paper for the tail feathers and colour it using water colours & dot to dot markers.  Use a stapler and fix the head & tail onto the paper plate. Secure in place.  Cut the brown foam into a claw and paste at the bottom of the paper plate.

Glue an icecream stick at the bottom to make it into a puppet.
