Inspired by warmer weather and our upcoming move to Florida – today’s Paper Plate Seagull kid craft idea is “squawking” to be made!

Perfect as a summer themed craft or even an ocean themed school series in school – this simple craft idea is budget friendly, super simple and of course fun for ALL ages!

Make a whole bunch at once for awesome beach themed decor or just make one for some pretend play awesomeness on the living room floor. Whatever you do – I hope you take FLIGHT with it!!!

Happy crafting my friends!!! #gluedtomycrafts

Paper Plate Seagull Craft Supplies:

* Large Paper Plate
* School Glue
* White Tissue Paper
* Black/White/Orange Cardstock
* Scissors
* Stapler

Directions:

* First cut your paper plate in half. Reserve one half for today’s craft and the other for a rainy day!
* Next have your child cut their white tissue paper into small squares.
* Squirt some glue all over your paper plate half. Have children take the tissue paper and place it on top of the glue, until it’s completely covered.
* While they are working on that, cut a head, eyes, beak and feet out of the cardstock.
* To finish off the Paper Plate Seagull – glue/staple on the cardstock pieces in their designated spots. Then display proudly!
