Directions:

  • First separate your eggs. Each plastic egg half will be a “bird.” Set them all aside.
  • Next grab your craft foam sheet and marker.
  • Carefully trace around your child’s hand {one handprint per bird.}
  • Grab your scissors and cut out the handprint. Repeat for each bird you want to make.
  • Now get your glue gun hot and ready. With help, have children decorate their handprint cut-out with some colorful feathers and any other embellishments they see fit.
  • Once that piece is decorated and it’s dry enough, it’s time for the final steps!
  • Go ahead and hot glue your handprint piece to your egg half to give the look of wings.
  • At this time you should also hot glue the wiggle eyes and a small triangle beak onto the plastic egg {psst- don’t forget to add any other embellishments you see fit!}
  • Then once done decorating, let the hot glue dry completely and display your Plastic Egg Bird proudly!!!

Craft Activity Safety Guidelines:

Always Ensure Adult Supervision - Young children should be supervised at all times when engaging in craft activities. This is essential to keep them safe and ensure materials are used correctly. Use Age-Appropriate Supplies - Choose craft supplies that are suitable for your child’s age. Check labels for recommendations and avoid items with small parts or sharp edges for younger children. Modify as Needed - Feel free to adapt materials or steps to meet your child's abilities and safety needs. For example, substitute scissors with safety scissors if necessary. Keep an Eye on Allergies - Be mindful of potential allergens in craft materials like glue, paint, or certain fabrics. Opt for non-toxic and hypoallergenic options whenever possible. Organize and Secure Supplies - Keep all craft tools and materials organized. Store sharp objects, small parts, and potentially hazardous items out of reach when not in use. Following these guidelines will ensure that crafts remain fun, creative, and, most importantly, safe for everyone involved!
