Directions
Start by printing the template, then gather the materials for this fun activity. Get those scissors ready, and let’s help the kids bring this easter chick to life!
Look for the yellow head piece and the pink cheeks. Glue the cheek pieces on each side of the face, lining them up under the brows and leaving space in the center for the eyes.
Glue the eye pieces in the center of the chick’s face. Place them slightly close together, just above the cheeks, and leave space below for the beak. This makes your chick look extra cute!
Grab the orange beak and glue it right between the eyes.
Take the egg piece and glue it to the bottom of the chick’s head. It should look like your chick has just hatched and is peeking out of the egg!
Glue the stripes across the egg to decorate it. This is a fun way to explore patterns and creativity.
Take the orange feet pieces and glue them behind the bottom of the egg so they peek out from underneath.
Trace your child’s hands on yellow paper, cut them out, and glue one to each side of the chick, slightly behind the head, so they look like wings.
Ta da! Your child’s project is complete and ready to be hung on the fridge!
