Supplies Needed:
Tutorial:
1.
Cut out parrot body
Begin by cutting out a parrot body and beak out of your cardboard.
We used the parrot pattern from a previous craft as a guide for making this one.
We rounded the body out a bit more and it worked great!
Also paint your beak with yellow paint.
Set them aside to dry completely.
For the tail feathers cut 1-inch strips along the longest side of the construction paper.
For the wings, cut 1-inch strips along the shortest side of the construction paper.
Cut the ends of the strips to give them a curved shape.
Hold your strips of tail feathers together tightly and carefully pull them through the slit in the bird.
Pull them halfway through and then bend the feathers down for the tail feathers.
Do this step again for the wings of the bird.
Glue beak & eyes
Glue the yellow beak onto your parrot.
Then add a googly eyes stickers onto your parrot.
Now your parrots are ready to twirl!
Simply hang them up from the ceiling or on a hook and watch as they hang down.
