Pigeon Paper Plate Craft and Printable Template Inspired by Mo Williems Book’s

We made an adorable paper plate pigeon craft that even rocks using our free template because “Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus” by Mo Williems is the latest book in our house that gets read every day. The kid’s can recite it by heart and love all the exclamation points that make the book fun and exciting to read, not to mention the silly pigeon with lots of emotion!!! Mo Williems has other pigeon books that we still need to put on our book shelf like, The Duckling Gets a Cookie, The Pigeon Needs a Bath, The Pigeon Finds a Hot Dog, and more.

Pigeon Paper Plate Craft

Pin me please! 🙂
 
Supplies: 
Pigeon Template (available for download at the end of this post)
Light blue, yellow, and black paint
Paint brush 
Glue
Scissors
Paper plate
Black pen
Glass gem & tape (optional)
 
If you don’t want the pigeon to rock, you can use half a paper plate per pigeon. 
 
Directions: 
 
1.  Paint the paper plate, the large circle (head), and long rectangle (neck) on the printable light blue. Paint the beak yellow and use a finger to make a dot inside the smaller circle for the eye. Leave the small rectangle white. Set aside to dry.
 
2.  Cut out the pieces from the printable. Fold the paper plate in half and glue the pieces together onto the paper plate. 
 
3.  Use the black pen to draw a wing on the paper plate. Tape the glass gem or other small object to the inside of the paper plate to make it balanced when it sits. Also, if your paper plate doesn’t stay in a V shape, make a tape loop and place it at the smallest point of the V to hold the two sides close together. 
Pin me please! 🙂

  • We need to encourage kids to play without devices. It engages their minds in finding creative ways to occupy themselves and fight boredom. If they spend time playing with peers and family members, they have the added benefit of social engagement. So, yes, boredom can be good for kids, in a rather roundabout way!
  • We made colorful candy beads with Twizzlers Twists to make a wearable craft that we could eat! I put together a little kit to bring with us in the car because Twizzlers don’t melt (cool right!?!), they are the perfect supply for this craft.
  • We are ready to learn about bees with our Bee Activities and Printables as part of this week’s Creative Preschool theme; Insects. The printables include a fun labeling activity that comes in two levels (reading or color matching), a bee coloring page, description of bee body parts (head, thorax, abdomen…), and a writing activity page.
  • We made an adorable bunch of balloons with cupcake liners. We were talking about layers the other day and this craft was a perfect way to demonstrate our discussion as well as brighten up our walls. There is nothing that the kids need to cut, so this craft is great for all ages and doesn’t take much time.
  • We have been learning about the Ocean which fits perfectly with this month’s Kids Crafts Stars theme–to create a new ocean themed kids craft. I wanted to come up with something simple and beautiful that reminded me of looking at the ocean. We used coffee filters and cut out animal silhouettes like a dolphin, shark, whale, and fish to make colorful suncatchers to hang on our window. I have a free pattern included in this post so you can easily make one too!
  • Today’s toilet paper roll cars craft is a perfect create-and-play craft for my kiddos (and hopefully your kiddos too!) My son always has cars in his hands and my daughter is always looking for transportation for her little dolls–now everyone is ready to roll :).
