Parrot for pirate or just parrot :)
Craft supplies
Colored poster board
Scissors
Black (or any dark color you want) paper for background
Shredded colored paper for “feathers”
2-3 colored real feathers from craft store
1 googly eye
Markers or crayons
School glue
Time needed: half an hour or more (depends how “downy” you want your parrot)
Directions
Trace parrot and wing using our template HERE on the poster board paper
Make a through cut on the parrot where marked
Bend the end of the wing where marked, pass it through the slit, glue
Glue some feathers (real ones) on parrot’s head (that part supposed to be back one)
Glue parrot on the background
Glue the eye
Now, you can cover his whole body with glue and then place as many “feathers” as you want, or, you can dip each ‘feather’ into glue and place it on the body – whichever way is convenient for you
Draw a beak with marker or crayon, or you can trace a beak separately on any other color paper and then glue it over
Add any elements you want – draw palm trees on the background, put some stickers, dust glitter. It is your project and you can improvise any way you want!
Hang it on the wall (use 2-sided tape or, glue a hook on the back side) . Enjoy him flapping his wing (with your little help, of course
)
