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!
