The How-To Directions:
* First squirt some red paint on a paper plate.
* Have children paint their paper bag completely red. This will be the body of their parrot.
* When done painting, set the paper bag aside to let it dry completely.
* While that is drying, have children pick out and flatten/fold in half 12 cupcake liners.
* Once done, go ahead and divide them into three piles.
* Now staple each set together to look like feathers. Two of your sets will be the wings of the parrot, while the last set will be placed on the parrot’s head.
* Now grab your cardstock.
* Go ahead and cut out a triangular beak from the yellow cardstock as well.
* To finish off the Paper Bag Cupcake Liner Parrot craft, simple glue/staple on the cardstock pieces, the wiggle eyes and the cupcake liner “feathers” in their appropriate places on the paper bag and finish off with any other embellishments you see fit {like beautiful glitter and rhinestones.}
* Then display/play with your parrot puppet proudly for ALL to see!!!
