9" Lightweight paper plate
Poster paint (red, yellow, golden orange, brown)
small paintbrush
scrap red or orange construction paper

Along the edge of the plate, paint "feathers" in alternating colors all around the plate. Let dry. Cut a 2 1/2" long scrap of construction paper, rounding one end to make the head. With a marker, draw eyes, beak, and wattle. Bend plate in two straight lines (painted side out) -- one 3 1/2 inches from the top -- one 3 1/2 inches from the bottom. Bend head 1/2 inch from the straight edge. Tape to the bottom of the paper plate.
