From YouTube: ChYpPS Paper Plate Owl craft

Description

Aimed at children 5 and under

A

Hello and welcome to our first under fives craft session. These will be taking place um every friday morning at 10 o'clock throughout the summer. So uh yeah come join us um hi, so my name is andrea and this is caroline hi everybody, and uh for this craft we are going to be making a paper plate owl, and this is the one that caroline has made earlier. There you go okay, so for this craft you are going to knees knee sorry, a paper plate, some orange card.

A

um Some white card potentially to do some eyes, but if not, you can just draw them on and felt tips. Oh, yes, let's get your glue, don't forget your glue. We might not get my glue. I'm gonna need that, um but yeah, it's quite a basic craft, but I think it looks really cute once it's done so yeah, hey, we're good.

A

Are we ready I'm ready? So, first of all, what we need to do is take the paper plate and fold in the both sides.

A

Okay, so if I just might be worth me just showing you after I've finished oh and this kind of gives the l its wings doesn't it so if we just hold it up to show everyone, okay, perfect and so for oh you're, on caroline, you sort of folded, the top I uh just pinched the top over, but it doesn't really matter. It depends how big your eyes are and stuff. There is nothing wrong with this. So don't worry. I might also fold the top, because I quite like the look of your one.

A

Okay, so there we go guys and then what you want to do is get your glue stick and fold down the flaps there. You go glue down your front, it's quite hard to stick some of these paper plates because they're a bit thick. I think.

A

So if you're a little one doing this at home, you might want to get a grown-up to do it with you. Obviously it helps all right, I'm just putting laser glue on and don't glue your paper plate to the table, which I've already done all right, I'm pressing down holding down the creases to make sure it stays.

A

My wings don't want to stay down, come on.

A

All right, yeah, really sort of press down on that say to do it quite hard. Don't you we go right? How are you getting on I'm up to where you are now? I think there we go yeah all right, so this is the uh created bit guys and uh what you basically just need to do is decorate your owl so uh yeah it could be sort of lifelike using sort of brownie tawny, colors or it could be like a multi-colored owl.

A

You know let your imagination go wild or if you've got any uh feathers or anything so that you just want to stick on to make it. You know more interesting go for it, so I think I'm going to go sort of a sort of traditional colors, um some browns.

A

Okay, so I mean this is going to be a little a rush job, because no one's going to want to watch me coloring in for half an hour, but you'll get the idea, so I'm just going to sort of color in the wings of brown. What are you going for? Caroline, I'm going for brown as well.

A

I'm probably should be a bit brave when try something else, but only for the next one. Maybe.

A

All right and then there you go just done his wings sort of a brownie, color, okay, yeah, and then I'm going to sort of give him like a little little feathery look on his belly by sort of doing some wiggly lines. Yeah. If you look at the one I did earlier, you've got like the little little things. It looks like his sort of fluffy tummy feathers. Yeah. There we go. Oh you can see that guys.

A

I might actually then sort of add some orangey to that as well, because the orange colors just make it look more interesting. Okay, I'm going to put a bit of black on mine in between my brown squiggles.

A

I might actually put a bit of laugh on my wings as well. I might copy you.

A

That's the highest form of flattery, yeah, right: okay, yeah, awesome, okay, okay, so now's the bit we're sort of I'm giving the features of the owl. So should we do sort of the beak and the feet here? Okay, so that will involve uh orange card. But if you don't have orange card, then you could always just use white and then color it in it's up to you kind of use. What you've got really yeah and we we did some other crafts.

A

So you know it doesn't have to be because you're only using a little bit, it doesn't matter like mine- are already being used for something else, but I just need a little bit so that I'm going to run with using the same piece of card.

A

So what I'm going to do first is well I'm going to fold um the orange card in half because I'm going to make uh two feet: oh you're doing your feet. First, okay, then I've have to do two, I'm just going to do one, and then that means they're kind of clever, same clever, clever, clever.

A

um It doesn't really matter what kind of style you use. I'm! Oh, I've got I've, given this really big feet.

A

And so I've kind of gone for something like that: okay, yep yeah. No, I'm feeling it this works. um So I'm going to stick those on.

A

So you guys want to turn the owl on its front. I'll, stop my feet as well use a bit of glue and and stick that at the bottom.

A

Right and then hopefully I might want to sort of press it down a bit to keep them on, but there we go. Your's got feet. Mine's got one foot at the moment. Oh my! Oh, not sticking on, but they'll dry. It's just yeah we're just doing this quickly. Aren't we yay that's cute right, so we've got our feet. Okay, then, what we want to do is probably should we do the eyes, let's go for it put it down.

A

Can you I'm gonna use a bit of white card? Okay, okay, I'm gonna! Stick with orange for my orange all right. I know I'm gonna yeah and again I'm gonna cut out a paper like that fold. It in half yeah and cut out sort of a circle shape. You could draw around something. Couldn't you if you felt a little bit yeah again, if you need help with this? That's fine!

A

Someone at home.

A

So what I'm going to do is uh draw the pupil in the eye using a black felt tip. Okay, um do that for both.

A

It's amazing how everything just comes to life as soon as you put the eyes on, I was thinking about googly eyes, put some googly eyes on anything and uh yeah yeah, it's alive right, okay, so grab the old glue. Stick.

A

A

There we go how's it going now. My owl can see in the dark right it's getting there.

A

Well put his eyes down a bit there. You go! That's a bit better! I see yours, hey, oh yeah, awesome right! So it's just a little bit of a well just the beak. Now I suppose so again take a bit of orange card or if you don't have orange cards white paper, whatever you've got and I'm gonna cut out a beak which is kind of like a triangle, really isn't it yeah? I did a bit of a diamond one. Oh okay, yeah again it's your owl! So do it do whatever you want? Really?

A

Oh, that doesn't look very.

A

A

A

Yeah, I think that's that'll work so more glue. Oh, I put loads of glue on that. Take that off any excess bit of black on my beak yeah, I might kind of I don't know completely different shape to the one I did before. Yeah and wow, all those are different. Aren't they a different personality.

A

I did a little, I don't know I didn't yeah, I quite like that. So yeah I mean you know if you want to carry on with, let's re-put like a little, you know give it a little bit of sort of a tuft at the top yeah. It's a bit like the shape of the feet almost, but a bit longer.

A

Yeah kind of like wiggly sure there's a name for that, but I don't know what it is. If anyone knows do, uh do you leave us a comment? Meowl experts.

A

Yeah, it's kind of like a well, it's not a mohawk. Is it but.

A

There we go all right, get some blue on.

A

And there we go oh to our friends and there we have it perfect, first yeah craft, a little owl, so yeah, hopefully guys you've enjoyed that, like I said, we'll, be doing um a craft activity every week, uh a friday at 10 o'clock. um And what we'll do is, uh if there's anything that you particularly need we'll post on facebook earlier so you're prepared for each session, so uh yeah brilliant thanks, caroline soon have fun, with your old bye, bye.
