Directions

Let’s kick off this fun craft by downloading the adorable chick template and printing it out. Once you’ve got the template in hand, gather all the materials they will need for this exciting craft. Get the scissors ready as we’re about to bring this little chick to life!

First up, grab the eggshell, and let’s create a cozy egg for our chick to hatch from. Help your little one carefully glue the eggshell to the bottom of the chick’s body.

Now, let’s get those feet in place. Position them right in the middle of the eggshell so they look like they’re popping out, all ready to explore. Assist your child in gluing the feet securely for a sturdy foundation.

Next, it’s time for our chick to get its smile! Guide your kiddo to place the beak in the middle of the head, towards the bottom, and glue it down gently.

Next up, let’s give our chick those big eyes! Help your child glue one eye just above the beak on each side. It’s as if our chick is eager to open its eyes wide and take in all the new sights!

Finally, to wrap up the crafting of our adorable baby chick, have your child draw tiny eyebrows above the eyes. These seemingly tiny features will add a tremendous amount of character and charm to our creation.

And there you have it! A bright and cheery hatching chick ready to spread some joy! If your kids had a blast with this craft, be sure to check out our other animal crafts for more creative fun!
