Paper & Popsicle Stick Snowy Birdhouse

The weather may be cold outside but that doesn’t mean the crafty fun has to stop inside!

Inspired by those cold winter Wyoming days I use to sit by our living room window and watch the birds feed off our feeder, today I present to YOU our Mixed Media Snowy Birdhouse kid craft idea! #gluedtomycrafts

Let’s SMASH some random things together and make a beautiful winter themed masterpiece together!

Directions:

First take your FOUR jumbo popsicle sticks and glue them down in the center of a single sheet of cardstock, to look like a birdhouse {a basic triangle shape with a stick underneath}
Now it’s time for the bird’s nesting materials. Cut up two-three pipe cleaners up and glue them inside the newly made bird house.
Once the nesting is down, it’s time to add the bird. Cut out a simple bird shape from another piece of cardstock {making sure to add the wiggle eye for him to see} and glue him inside the birdhouse as well..
Ready for the final step? Squirt some white paint on a paper plate.
Have children dip their q-tip in the paint, then on the mixed media piece to create snow and snowflakes.
Once they are done, set aside their snowy birdhouse paper masterpiece to let it dry completely!
