CHIRP CHIRP! It’s time to kick off the SPRING themed kid crafts on the blog and this one is PERFECT keep the little ones busy while you wait for the weather to turn!

Not only are the stamps {aka potatoes} in this Potato Stamped Handprint Baby Birds – Kid Craft super easy for anyone to pick up at their local grocery store BUT they are fairly inexpensive too {especially if you are planning on cooking some potatoes for your Easter celebrations!} Just be sure to set one aside for your activity and keep in mind it makes for a great keepsake as well!

So don’t delay – grab those craft supplies and get to work! Happy “stamping” and creating “tweet” memories this upcoming spring season, my friends! #gluedtomycrafts

Potato Stamped Handprint Baby Birds Supplies:

* Colored Cardstock
* Craft Scissors
* Marker or Pencil
* Knife/Potato {adult supervision required!}
* Paper Plate
* Paint Brushes
* School Glue
* Yellow Craft Paint
* Large Wiggle Eyes

Directions:

* First trace and cut out your child’s handprint out of cardstock. Repeat for how many baby birds you want to make.
* Next ADULTS should grab the potato and cut it in half.
* Now squirt the yellow paint on the paper plate.
* Have children dip one half of the potato into the yellow paint {smear it around} then stamp it in the palm of the handprint cutout. Repeat for each piece.
* To finish off the Potato Stamped Handprint Baby Birds, have children add on some facial features for the bird {the wiggle eyes and nose} as well as cutting/gluing on some legs. Then set it all aside to let it dry completely, before displaying proudly!
