What to do:

  1. place a foam pad onto a plate
  2. pour some yellow paint onto it and rub (you have now created a “ink pad”.
  3. Cut a potato in half and press the flat side into the paint.
  4. make sure the whole flat side is covered in paint and then press it to a clean sheet of paper to make the bodies. Allow to dry.
  5. Cut small triangles from the orange card for beaks.

* You could use a googly eye instead of drawing one.

* Glue yellow feathers onto the body shape for wings.

At some point in my teaching career I came to realise how little ‘real’ information there was for parents. I would get the same questions from friends and parents mainly about keeping the children learning and engaged and this only increased when I gave birth to my daughter. Read more about me and what motivated me to start Toddlebabes.
