Don’t be chicken my crafty friends! Check out our latest Paper Plate Clothespin Chicken Kid Craft idea!

Not only is this paper plate craft super simple, inexpensive and fun for all ages – but it can also be tied together with a fun children’s book story afterwards. You can easily make a full afternoon out of crafty time, as well as storytime {my favorite!}

So what are you waiting for? This paper plate clothespin chicken is waiting for you to make it! Follow my step-by-step tutorial below and let the fun begin! Happy crafting my friends!

Supplies:

* Large Paper Plate
* White Tissue Paper
* Yellow/Black Cardstock
* Clothespins {four}
* Red Craft Paint Pen {affiliate link}
* School Glue
* Scissors
* Stapler

Directions:

* First cut your white 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 some chicken facial features from the cardstock. Think eyes, beak etc. as well as painting the four clothespins completely red.
* To finish off the Chicken kid craft – staple/glue the cardstock pieces in their designated spots on the paper plate, as well as “pinching” the clothespins to the paper plate to represent some feathers and waddle. Then display proudly! {or add other embellishments to really make it your own!}
