Googly Eyes
Construction paper in orange
School glue
Yellow tissue paper
White paper dessert plate
Craft pipe cleaners

Step 1:

Each person will need some glue, a pencil, small white dessert plate, and a pile of yellow tissue paper.

Pour out about a quarter of white glue onto a paper plate.

Step 2:

Holding the pencil, place a piece of yellow tissue paper over the pencil’s eraser and twist so the tissue paper is lightly wrapped around the pencil.

Step 3:

Dip the tissue paper in the glue using only a small amount, then place it on the white dessert plate.

Step 4:

Continue gluing the tissue paper pieces onto the paper plate until it is filled.

Once the plate is filled, set aside to dry.

Step 5:

Once the glue is dry, softly press down on the tissue paper to give it a crinkly, feathered look.

Step 6:

This step is all about the face! Add a beak using a strip of orange constrution paper. Fold part of the paper strip in half, draw a triangle on it and cut out. The fold will allow the beak to open up, which is a cute little detail.

You can add on the googly eyes once the beak is in place.

Step 7:

Every chick needs some chicken feet. Cut a pipe cleaner into 4th. Take two ends and wrap one around the other until it forms a foot. Then repeat with the other pipe cleaner pieces.

Glue or tape these to the back of the paper plate.
