Birds of a Feather

Earlier this week we made bird nests.
 
 They take a day or two to dry.
 Today we made birds.

The body is a small clear disposable cup.
Tissue paper was glued on.
Feathers, pompoms and googly eyes were available to add features.
A problem arose when some of the children didn't have a nest for their bird.
We quickly improvised and used a paper plate that could be painted.
 

The children (and parents) flocked to the table to make a bird.
