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!!!
