To make it stronger, cover the whole thing with strips of
newspaper and Art Attack paste, which is half water and glue.
On a sheet of paper, draw the comb (wavy-shaped growth on
its head) and a chicken’s beak. Ask a grown-up to help you
cut them out.
Bend the beak in the middle, and stick it on the head. Then,
stick the comb on the chicken’s head.
Get a grown-up to help you cut the bottom of the bottles off,
so you’ll have two bits. Then place them one in the other.
To fit the two parts of the bottle together, take a long strip of
cardboard, place it inside one of the bottle bases and mark
the spot where they meet.
Cut off the spare bit and secure the two ends together to
form a ring. Tape this to the inside edge of one of your
bases.
An EGG-CITING make!

Take a small brush to draw in the eyes and feathers. Use a
black felt-tip pen to finish the eyes - add some little white
dots to make them more interesting - and wings on the sides.
So when you have some free time, why not make your own
surprising nesting figures!
Now paint and put them together! Once you’ve painted your
hen white, colour in the comb a bright red, and paint the beak
yellow.
