A Pandemonium of Parrots

We now have a 'company' or 'pandemonium' of parrots in our jungle corner! (No, I didn't know that was the collective noun for a group of parrots either!)

They really are a funny bunch, and any resemblance to the penguin in Wallace and Gromit with a rubber glove on his head is purely accidental! All made by us!

First, choose which colour of card you would like and draw round your foot onto it. (This is harder than it looks!) This will be the body.



Then, do some colourful hand-painting (about 7 should be plenty). Remember to roll your sleeves up, wear an apron and not touch anything until you are clean again!




Note: Some children will thoroughly enjoy getting stuck in!




 Finally, when everything is dry and cut out, assemble your 'feathers' to make a 'pretty polly'! Add googly eyes and a beak to finish.





Don't you think they look fantastic?!
