* 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.
* Go ahead and also use the paint pen to paint the four clothespins completely red.
* To finish off the chicken paper plate kid craft idea – 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!}
