Simple Parrot Craft for Kids

Even though my kids are getting older, I still love being able to do fun crafts with them. This Parrot Craft for Kids was a fun idea that we came up with because we had extra cups left over after a family party. Crafting is always better when you can use supplies you already have on-hand! Even if you don’t have extra cups, you can head over to your local dollar store & pick some up. What kinds of crafts do you like doing with your kids?

Simple Parrot Craft for Kids

Supplies

  • Red paper or plastic cups
  • Large googly eyes
  • Red, blue, green, blue, and orange craft feathers
  • White card stock
  • Black marker
  • Yellow and orange yarn
  • Hot glue/hot glue gun
  • Scissors

Directions

  1. Fold your white paper in half, draw a beak with the flat side on the folded edge, and cut out with scissors.
  2. Color the bottom half of your parrot beak with your black marker and glue to the center of your red cup.
  3. Glue two googly eyes above the beak.
  4. Wrap a yellow and orange piece of yarn around the cup about 4 times going around the beak and eyes and secure the ends with glue.
  5. Group 3-4 feathers together for parrot wings and glue them to the front sides of the cup with the bottoms by the bottom edge of the cup.

    Hi Tara,

    I am a huge fan of crafting and making fun projects for my kids make and enjoy. This one really ticks the boxes for me, the parrots are really colourful and fun so I will be getting this one for my kids to do real soon,

    I am lucky however, as my local store has multi coloured cups so I can get them to maybe make angry birds characters as well as funky different coloured parrots.

    The step by step guide as well as the superb photography is awesome so a huge thank you for the post.
