Ming Ming Egg

Real feathers, available at craft-supply stores, make this ducky delightfully fuzzy.



What You Need
Large yellow plastic egg, about 3 1/2 inches tall
Yellow feathers
Craft glue
Scissors
Egg template
Brown felt
Yellow felt
White felt
Yellow felt
Black marker
Pink Fimo or modeling clay
Small jar lid (about 1 1/2 inches across) for base



What You Do

Step 1
For the body: Kids glue feathers to the sides and back of the egg, trimming them with scissors as needed.



Step 2
For the hat: As the glue dries, use the egg template to cut out the hat and two hat straps from the brown felt. From the white felt, cut two circles for goggles. Set aside. Glue the straps and goggles to the crescent-shaped hat, as shown. Glue the hat onto the duck's head.



Step 3
For the feet: Using the template, cut two legs from the yellow felt. Glue the legs to the base of the egg.



Step 4
For the face: When the feathers on the egg have dried, use a black marker to draw the eyes. Mold the modeling clay into a triangle-shaped piece for the beak. Press it onto the duck's face.



Step 5
Set the duck on the jar lid.
