Paper Plate Birds with Movable Wings
Making crafts from paper plates, like these colorful paper plate birds, is an inexpensive and fun activity for kids. Let them choose the patterned paper and the color of paint to truly make this craft their own. When you’re done, try out some more paper plate crafts for tomorrow afternoon!
Paper fasteners are inexpensive and you get a lot of them in a box! You can find them at dollar stores, discount department stores and office supply stores.
Paper Plate Birds with Movable Wings
You’ll want to protect your table with newspaper or a plastic table cloth. Have kids wear smocks and put water into heavy mugs for cleaning brushes as there’s less chance of them tipping over than a lightweight plastic cup.
You will need:
- 2 paper plates
- Scrapbook paper
- Craft paint
- 3 googly eyes
- 1 brown pipe cleaner
- 3 paper fasteners
- Tools: scissors, paintbrush, glue stick, white craft glue
Two paper plates will make 3 birds. If you only want to make one bird, that’s totally fine! You will just have scrap pieces of paper plate left over.
Cut both paper plates in half. Take one of the halves and cut it into six equal pieces. Set the six small pieces aside.
Paint the three paper plate halves and set them aside to dry.
Place scrapbook paper on the table face down. Apply glue stick to two of the small plate pieces then turn them over and press them to the back side of the scrapbook paper. Repeat for the other small pieces and set aside to dry.
When dry, trim off the excess scrapbook paper but cutting around the triangular shaped plate pieces. These are your wings. Set them aside.
Now that the paper plate halves are dry, paint an orange beak onto one corner of each one. Glue on a googly eye.
Use a craft knife or pair of scissors to poke a hole in the center of the paper plate bird body. Also poke a hole into each wing, about about 1.5-inches above the pointed end of the triangle wing.
Insert the paper fastener through one of the wings (on the scrapbook paper side) then through the plate, and finally through the second wing. Secure the fastener at the back of the bird.

Milk Paint Popcorn Rainbow
Kids love art projects, and milk paint is something that you can make in literally moments and start having some fun with it. There are lots of ways to make homemade paint for the kids, but milk paint requires only two simple ingredients.
Make a Popcorn Rainbow with Milk Paint
This art activity combines several learning opportunities. Teach kids about the colors of the rainbow, talk about absorption as the milk soaks into the popcorn, and talk about how a prism works!
Important Note
It’s important to note that this is a temporary art project. The milk paint will soak into the popcorn, causing the popcorn to shrink. Imagine placing a piece of popcorn into your mouth and waiting a moment. What happens? The popcorn begins to shrink as the saliva in your mouth reaches it. After this project has dried, it will not be as pretty as it is when your child first makes it. The popcorn kernels will dry and shrivel and the glue will be visible on the paper behind it along with the oils that were in the popcorn.
You will need:
- Light blue construction paper
- Popped popcorn
- Milk
- Food coloring
- Small paintbrush
- White glue
- Draw a simple half circle onto the paper and line the top with white glue.
- Press the popcorn into the glue and continue until you have six layers.
- Mix food coloring into the milk to create red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple.
- Use a small paintbrush to drop milk paint onto the popcorn.
- Glue unpainted popcorn to the ends of the rainbow as clouds.
While this isn’t a piece of art that you’ll be able to keep around forever, it is a fun activity for kids and a great way to discuss art, colors and science!
Have fun!
