One of my favorite children’s book series as of late, has been the Pigeon Presents Series by Mo Williems. Whenever I read these comical books to my Lil Man, I like to act out the stories and add funny voices to the characters. It’s just so much fun to read and they even have great lessons behind them {like sharing, responsibilities, following directions etc}

Since I love this series so much, it comes to no surprise that I’m sharing a kid craft that goes along perfectly with the book The Pigeon Finds A Hotdog where the Pigeon learns to share even his most prized food.

With just a simple paper plate, tissue paper and cardstock – you too can pull this easy kid craft together in no time. Then grab the book, maybe a hot dog or two and celebrate as you read & craft together! Just follow the step-by-step tutorial below and let the fun begin. Don’t forget to “share” your crafty creation by displaying it proudly for everyone to see!

Paper Plate Hot Dog Supplies:

* Large Paper Plate {one per hot dog craft}
* Tan Tissue Paper
* Red/Yellow Cardstock
* School Glue
* Kid Friendly Craft Scissors

Directions:

* First cut your tan colored tissue paper into small squares {let the kids practice their cutting skills}
* Take your paper plate and put a good amount of glue all over it. Have children place the tissue paper on top of the glue, until the paper plate is completely covered.
* While they are working on that, cut out the “hot dog” from your red cardstock. Don’t forget to cut out a squiggle for the mustard!
* To finish off the kid craft – simply glue the hot dog/mustard cardstock pieces to the of the center paper plate and display proudly {you can even add other embellishments like cardstock pickles and relish!}
