Robin toddler craft

This craft idea involves paint (brown), glue, tissue paper (red and/or orange), coloured paper (yellow) and good ol’ googly eyes!

The first step is to paint your paper plate brown.
TOP TIP – if you have a ‘glossy’ paper plate, then paint the back side of it and turn the edges in.
TOP TIP – if you don’t have brown paint then mix a little green with some orange paint until you get the colour you want

 

 

 

 

 

Then tear your tissue paper into squares and scrunch these up into little balls. This is a great activity for toddlers to do themselves.

 

 

 

 

Use a little glue to stick these to the chest of your robin.

 

 

 

 

Finish your robin off with a pair of googly eyes and a beak.
