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!!!
