Paper Plate Emu

Materials

Method

Cut a elongated diamond out of black paper and fold in half for emu's beak. Attach to brown pom-pom (or styrophone ball coloured black with felt pen or paint).
Glue on wiggly eyes and attach one black pipe cleaner for neck. Set aside to dry.
Cut a small paper plate in half - we used wave scissors to add character to our emu! Tear brown bag into smallish pieces for feathers and glue to the bottom of each half of the plate.
Use one pipe cleaner for each leg, bending to form a foot, and attach one to each half of the plate in the middle of the long, wave edge.
Attach neck and head to one half of the plate just above one end of the long edge.
Staple both sides of the plate together at rounded edges. Attach string to hang emu if desired.
