There was a bit of prep involved with these little guys.
- I pre-cut the body, beak, and wattle shapes and cut the ribbon and hot glued it in loops.
- I also cut a cardboard background shape for the pin and glued the pin to the cardboard shape.
- I bought glue dots for the kids to use to stick their ribbons to the cardboard background. once they had arranged the feathers, I hot glued the body on top of the background.
- Then the kids glued on the google eyes, beak, and wattle.
