Our Rockin' Birds!

Sticking with the bird and spring theme of the week we decided to make
rockin' birds today.

I first used the hot glue gun to attach a craft stick to each t.p. roll.

Once I had the stick secured, I folded a piece of saran wrap in 1/2,

placed the t.p. roll over it and dropped in a few dried beans.

A combination of glue and scotch tape was used to secure the saran wrap to each side of the t.p. roll.

The sample bird was placed in the middle of the table and each child was given a bird template to color and decorate.

We began to assemble the bird when all the pieces of the templates were cut and ready for each child.

The children's favorite part of assembling the bird was the dimensional beak.

Once our rockin' birds were dry the children enjoyed running throughout the play area whistling or at least attempting to and rockin' their bird.
