This is a fun project that will let your Girl Scouts make bird figures that will rock 'n roll all day long!

Materials

• Plastic Pantyhose Eggs (white or black); or large plastic Easter eggs
• Modeling Clay
• Scissors
• Construction Paper
• Tape or Glue
• Bird Books or Field Guides

Directions

1. Give each girl a plastic egg and a lump of clay (about the size of a golf ball).

2. Open the plastic egg and press the lump of clay into the smaller half. Put the egg back together and try to make it stand up. (If it doesn't, adjust the clay inside the egg.)

3. Using pictures of birds from magazines, books, illustrations, or cartoons as guides, cut out eyes, beaks, wings, and feet for your bird.

4. Tape or glue the cut-outs onto the egg. (If you use glue, let the glue become tacky before you press the bird parts on.) Then launch your bird's rock 'n roll career by giving it a push!
