This easy-to-make duck is a cute craft that’s made from a paper plate and construction paper.

Supplies Needed:
  • Paper plate
  • Scissors
  • Glue
  • Stapler
  • A pencil
  • Yellow and orange construction paper or oak tag
  • Crayons, paint or markers
  • Optional – Googly eyes

Instructions

1.

Trace your hands on yellow construction paper, then cut the handprints out. If you don’t have yellow construction paper, use stiff white paper, then paint it yellow (or use markers).

3.

Staple the hands near the fold on one end – these will be the tail feathers.

Staple the handprints onto the paper plate.
4.

Using yellow construction paper or oaktag, cut out a circle (about 3 inches across or a little bigger). This will be the duck’s head.

Using orange construction paper or oaktag, cut out an elongated oval with one end cut off. This will be the duck’s bill. Fold the end of the beak over, making a small tab (this is where you will put the glue).

5.

Glue the bill onto the circle (put the glue on the small tab that will be folded under the bill). Draw eyes above the bill (or glue on small googly eyes).

Staple the head to the paper plate (near the fold line, opposite the tail feathers).

6.

Using orange construction paper or oaktag, cut out the duck’s feet – they should be connected by a short strip of paper. To draw each foot, start with an oval, then draw a zigzag on one end.

Fold the paper where the feet meet the strip of paper.

Staple each foot to the bottom of one side of the paper plate, right inside the fold line of the foot.

You now have a cute duckie that will stand up.
