Pom-Pom Chicken

Materials needed:• 2" pom-pom (for the body)

• 1" pom-pom (for the head)

• 2 mm thick red foam sheet (for the wattle)

• 5 mm thick red foam sheet (for the comb)

• 2 mm thick orange foam sheet

(for the beak)

• yellow chenille stem

• ½" googly eyes

• craft glue

Directions:1. Glue one 1" and one 2" pom-pom together.

2. Glue two googly eyes onto the 1" pom-pom.

3. Cut out a beak from the orange foam and glue it onto the 1" pom-pom. (The beak size in the video is 1" wide and ½" tall.)

4. Take one chenille stem and bend it for the toes, feet, and legs. Glue the legs onto the bottom side of the body of the chicken. (The legs in the video include three toes per foot.) It is unlikely that your chicken will be able to stand.

5. Cut out a wiggly arch shape for the comb and glue it on top of the chicken's head.

6. Cut out a lopsided heart for the wattle and glue it upside down, tucked under the beak.

We recommend that an adult cut out the comb and wattle shapes, as they are intricate and can be difficult to do with safety scissors.
