Keep the kids entertained with this fun and easy paper plate pigeon & duckling craft idea! Perfect for a cozy afternoon of creativity and laughter

Paper Plate Pigeon & Duckling - Kid Craft

Blue Pigeon & Yellow Duckling

Who doesn’t LOVE a good book themed kids craft idea?! I know I personally love them and hopefully you do too!

Not only is this Paper Plate Pigeon and Duckling super fun, simple and inexpensive craft idea BUT it also goes along perfectly with the Pigeon Presents series {our personal fav being – The Duckling Gets A Cookie!?}

“Award-winning writer and illustrator Mo Willems has created one of the funniest, whiniest, most persistent characters ever-a demanding city pigeon! Before stepping out for a moment, the bus driver of the award-winning Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus! makes one simple request of readers: “Don’t let the pigeon drive the bus.” That wouldn’t seem to be a big problem-until Pigeon starts wheedling and pleading!

Whether he’s begging for a puppy or trying to stay up late, this funny bird acts exactly the way children do when they’re trying to get their way, and both kids and adults will recognize his behavior. At the same time, Willems puts readers in control, giving them a taste of what it’s like to be the voice of reason. Readers will delight in telling the pigeon what to do-and perhaps recognize a bit of themselves in his over-the-top antics. What could be more fun? Includes Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus!, The Pigeon Finds a Hot Dog!, Don’t Let the Pigeon Stay Up Late!, and The Pigeon Wants a Puppy!”

So what are you waiting for? Let’s grab our craft supplies, follow the step by step tutorial below and get to work. Don’t forget to raid your local library so you have some pigeon themed Mo Williems books to read in honor of you adorable creation!

Craft Activity Safety Guidelines:

Always Ensure Adult Supervision - Young children should be supervised at all times when engaging in craft activities. This is essential to keep them safe and ensure materials are used correctly. Use Age-Appropriate Supplies - Choose craft supplies that are suitable for your child’s age. Check labels for recommendations and avoid items with small parts or sharp edges for younger children. Modify as Needed - Feel free to adapt materials or steps to meet your child's abilities and safety needs. For example, substitute scissors with safety scissors if necessary. Keep an Eye on Allergies - Be mindful of potential allergens in craft materials like glue, paint, or certain fabrics. Opt for non-toxic and hypoallergenic options whenever possible. Organize and Secure Supplies - Keep all craft tools and materials organized. Store sharp objects, small parts, and potentially hazardous items out of reach when not in use. Following these guidelines will ensure that crafts remain fun, creative, and, most importantly, safe for everyone involved!
