Super Colorful Paper Plate Parrot - Kid Craft Idea

This paper plate parrot craft is perfect for kids! It’s a great way to teach them about colors and animals.

Craft Supplies:

  • Large Paper Plate
  • Colored Markers
  • Light Blue Tissue Paper
  • Craft Scissors
  • Colored Ribbon or Yarn
  • Large Wiggle Eyes
  • Hand-Held Office Stapler

Directions:

  • First cut your paper plate in half. One half will the head of the parrot, while the other half will be the body.
  • Let’s work on the head first. Have children color their paper plate to look like the face of the parrot. We did this by coloring one half to look like the beak and the other where the eye would go.
  • Go ahead and glue the wiggle eye on this piece. Set aside.
  • Next is the body. Cut your tissue paper {we did a light shade of blue} into small squares.
  • Glue those pieces down all over the paper plate half.
  • Now grab your ribbon {or yarn} and cut several long stripes.
  • Go ahead and staple those to the tissue paper plate plate half to represent the feathers of the parrot.
  • To finish off the Paper Plate Parrot – staple the two paper plates together.
  • Now display your parrot creation proudly for all to see!!!
