Directions

Download the chick template and print it out on the white cardstock.

Paint in the chick the way your child wants. Choose yellow for a traditional look or choose a pastel color for Easter. Let it dry completely, then cut out each of the pieces.

Position the beak on the left side of the chick’s body and glue it to the back.

Next, take the eye and glue it just to the right of the beak.

Place the wing in the middle of the body and glue it down.

Finish off the chick by gluing the legs to the back and bottom of the chick, where the rounded part is.

That’s it! Isn’t this just such a simple cut-and-paste activity?
