An Easter Craft Idea for Kids
A Little Yellow Chick
You'll need the following:
2 pieces of yellow construction paper
2 pieces of orange construction paper
1 black marker
Glue stick
Safety scissors for kids
Step 1: Have your child place their hands on a piece of the yellow construction paper, trace and cut out.
Step 2: Fold the other piece of yellow construction paper in half and cut out an oval shape, Next, unfold and you should have an oval (for the chick's body).
Step 3: Draw two chick legs on the orange construction paper. They should be long and have three triangle shapes for their feet. Cut out.
Step 4: On the other piece of construction paper, draw two triangles (one on top of each other with the bottoms touching). This will be the chick's beak. Cut out, fold in half to make the beak.
Step 5: Turn the oval over and glue the hands on the back of the oval. This will form the chick's wings. Next, glue the legs on the oval. Turn over.
Step 6: Draw two eyes on the oval towards the top. Directly below, glue on the beak. Below the beak write "Happy Easter".
Step 7: Hang on your fridge, on the wall or simply give it to someone as a gift. Don't forget to write the date on the back to remember when your little one made such cute hand prints!
