    It's picnic season around here. This week, we made Perfect Picnic Chicken Salad Sandwich Recipe. And we decided to jazz up our picnic by making some decorative chicken head napkin rings.  This craft is super simple and involves something you most likely already have laying around your house: empty toilet paper rolls!

    The trickiest part of this craft is cutting out the chicken head shape from the toilet paper roll. Grown-ups or older siblings might need to help trace the shape of the chicken on the toilet paper roll and cut along the lines of the tracing.

Also, you can make other animal napkin rings based on the theme of your meal. Turkey napkin rings for Thanksgiving? Chick napkin rings for Easter? The possibilities are endless!

    This craft also provides a great opportunity to share some fun facts about this meal's featured ingredient:
