4. Coat the white oval lightly with glue from the glue stick and set in front of your baby. Depending on the size of your feathers, give them enough feathers so that it will “fill” the oval. Allow time to play and help press the feathers in place. Remember- what goes in the baby’s hand will go into the mouth! Stay close 😉
5. Cut a small triangle out of orange construction paper for the chick’s beak.
6. Cut out your baby’s face from your selected photo.
7. Assemble according to my example and glue into place.
