What’s better than a character-inspired craft? One you can throw, obviously.
This Angry Birds-inspired craft kit is simple and easy to put together for anyone needing a quick idea. It can be done in-person or as a craft kit.
Each craft kit makes two Angry Birds (Red) and two King Pigs (King Smooth Cheeks). Once the craft has been put together, kids can use household materials to build fortresses for their King Pigs and try to knock each other’s down by throwing their Angry Birds at it.
