Finding ways to keep your students or children engaged in creative activities can be a challenge during the summer months. But with the right materials and an inspiring project, you can bring out their inner artist!

Craft Supplies:

Directions:

  • First cut your paper plate in half. Straight up the center to create TWO equal pieces.
  • Set one half aside for your craft and save the other to repeat the craft later.
  • Next up – use your tempera paint crayon to color the paper plate half. You can do brown or blue for a patriotic eagle.
  • When done painting, set it aside to let it dry complete.
  • Now grab your sheets of cardstock paper.
  • Start with the printable. Color in ONE eagle head design however you like.
  • When done, trim it out with scissors. Save the other half to repeat the craft.
  • Now grab your second sheet of white cardstock paper, along with a pencil.
  • Trace and trim out a handprint shape that will become the eagle’s wings.
  • Out of the remaining yellow cardstock paper, trim out two stick legs.
  • Now we are heading towards the final steps! To finish off the Paper Plate Eagle – staple ALL the cardstock pieces in place on the paper plate. I would start with the head and work down.
  • Finally – glue on a googly eye for him to see.
  • Now display your eagle creation proudly for all to see!!!

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.
