- Jumbo Popsicle Sticks – 3 per craft
- School Glue
- Red Craft Paint
- Foam Paint Brush
- Craft Scissors
- Red Cardstock Paper
- Black Cardstock Paper

Directions:
Things are about to get messy – in a good way! Lay down a plastic tablecloth or some old newspapers to catch any runaway paint, glue, or sparkles.
- First grab three popsicle sticks {three per parrot} and glue them together to look like a triangle.
- Set aside to let it dry completely.
- Repeat for each parrot craft piece you want to make today.
- Once those are done drying, go ahead and have children paint their pieces completely red.
- Again, set aside to let them dry completely.
- Now grab your cardstock paper and scissors.
- Cut out a red triangular piece for inside the popsicle stick design, as well as a long, parrot nose from the black.
- To finish off the Popsicle Stick Parrot – have children glue their paper pieces in place, as well as any other embellishments they see fit {like tons of feathers on top of it’s head!}
- Once done, set aside to let it dry completely before displaying proudly!
