Supplies needed:
- paper plates – large and small
- cardstock – red, blue, orange, green, white and yellow

First, paint the top of each plate brown and let dry.
Glue your small brown play to the bottom of your large brown plate.
Cut out a large yellow triangle and a red wattle and 2 white eyes with a hole punch. Glue the eyes, beak and wattle onto the smaller brown plate. Color in the center of the eyes with an orange pencil.
Carefully cut a white large plate in slices like pizza and round each corner, these will be the feathers. Color each feather a different color with your colored pencils.
Glue the bottom of each feather behind the top of your large brown paper plate.
Now use the hole punch to make lots of different colored circles from your colored card stock and have the kids match the circles to the feather and glue them on with a glue stick.
