This chick card craft is a sweet Easter project for kids ages 5-8 who want to make something cute and handmade for spring. Using the printable template, children can fold, cut, and glue their own chick-shaped card in about 15-25 minutes, which makes it a fun choice for classrooms, homeschool, playgroups, or crafting sessions!

We love that this craft is more than just a paper chick because it turns into a real card kids can give to someone special. As they make it, children will practice fine motor skills, scissor skills, and following directions while doing an activity that feels fun and meaningful.

Create the egg by gluing the egg spots along the top and bottom eggshell. Trim off any paper that hangs off the sides.

Take the top eggshell and glue it to the top of the chick’s head, slightly overlapping the eyes. Finish off by gluing the bottom eggshell to the bottom of the chick’s body.
