How to make our paper plate chicken

Spread a line of glue directly across the middle of your paper plate. Fold the plate in half following the glued line and pinch to secure.

Cut out a 3 pointed red comb and glue it down in place on one side of the folded section of your paper plate as you can see above.

Cut out a large yellow teardrop shape for the beak and a slightly smaller red teardrop to make the chickens wattle. Glue the two pieces together and then glue them down inside the folded paper plate.

Cut out a 3 pronged wing shape and then a 3 pronged tail from your brown paper. Glue the wing down in place on the front of your paper plate and then the tail on the back end.

Add your eye and then pop aside to dry. Once completely secure your rocking paper plate chicken is finished and ready to be played with or displayed!
