First things first - fold your small paper plate in half. Straight up the center so it looks like a taco.

Unfold the paper plate and squirt yellow craft paint, on one side of it. Be sure to keep the paint inside the paper plate and not place too much down. Three-four LIGHT SQUEEZE squiggles is all you need.

Once the paint is down, go ahead and re-fold/squish your paper plate together again.

Be sure to rub your hand all over the folded piece, so the paint will cover your the inside nicely {paint WILL more than likely squeeze out the sides, so be sure to pay attention to that and clean up with baby wipes!}

Now carefully unfold your piece to reveal your marbled paint design inside.

Set aside the paper plate piece to allow the paint to dry a few hours before moving onto the next step.

When the paint is dry {and I repeat - it needs to be DRY!} grab it, along with your scissors and two pieces of cardstock paper.

Go ahead and cut out wings, a nose, legs etc. for your chick.

To finish the Paper Plate And Paint Splat Chick - staple and glue your paper pieces to the decorated paper plate.

Follow that up with the wiggle eyes in the center to really give it life.

And that's it! Now display your beautiful new bird friend proudly for ALL to see!
