Paper Plate Birds

These adorable bright colored paper plate birds were so fun to make! We are learning about Parts of a Bird as included in the Birds & Eggs theme from Experience Preschool. The daily topic was Parts of a Bird: Tail. See the bird’s pretty tail feathers?

The paper plate birds are very easy to make. They start out with a large paper plate folded in half and glued together.

Then each child colored their bird as desired with Kwik Stix. I love Kwik Stix paint sticks for this type of project because it dries fast and we can move on the next part of the craft.

To decorate our birds, we used bright colored papers for the tail feathers and patterned scrapbook papers for the wings.

We had a school ager here so she used the glue gun to add the goggly eyes to each bird. I find that holds them on better and we don’t have to wait so long for the glue to dry.

Make & Play Paper Plate Birds

The birds make a great spring wall display or the kids can play with them.
