Paper plates are awesome for making any kind of animals – they work as a backdrop. Make some Angry Birds for you kids to make them happy! Paint each paper plate using the acrylic paint and paint sponges and let dry. Next, give each character a pair of large googly eyes. Cut (3) 1″ sections of black electrical tape. Then, carefully cut in half long ways (hot dog style as the kids call it) and give each character a pair of thick black eyebrows. Cut a large oval out of the green foam for the pigs snout and use the glue stick to attach.Draw 2 oval nostrils on the pig’s snout, using the black Sharpie marker. Cut 2 smaller ovals for the pigs ears. Cut the bottoms straight and add a piece of black electrical tape to the green foam, or fill in with a sharpie. Attach both ears to your pig using a glue stick. Cut 2 beaks out of the orange craft foam and attach to your red and yellow birds. Lastly, give each bird a coordinating feather.
