Paper Plate Birds

Last year's Prep students spent most of term 4 learning all about how to create art with paper. Students learned skills with paper such as fringe cutting, paper curling, fan-folding, collage and construction techniques. Students then put all of their learning into practice and created these colourful paper plate birds!

Students began this project by covering a large paper plate with small pieces of coloured tissue paper, creating a collaged effect for the body of the bird. The plate was then folded in half and stapled together. Students added features such as a triangular beak, three-part eyes, curly tail, and fan-fold wings. This was a fantastic project that utilised a wide range of skills with cutting, sticking, folding and construction.
