Birds of a Feather

Your children will be flocking to make these decorative bird boxes that let their imaginations fly. Kids create their own unique 'nest' for keepsakes.

1. Spread newspaper over your work area. Paint a small recycled cardboard box and lid with Crayola® Washable Kid's Paint and Paint Brushes. Jewelry or stationery-size boxes work best. Dry.

2. With Crayola School Glue, glue together pompoms to form a bird on the box lid. An option can be to color cotton balls with Crayola Washable Markers.

3. Attach craft feathers, craft eyes, and chenille sticks for wings and feathers.

Adult supervision is required for any arts & crafts project.
