Easter Craft – Easy Peasy Chick

Posted by Chris on Jan 28, 2013 in Family Fun, Get Crafty, Slider | 7 comments

I know Easter is a while off yet but we were in the mood for a bit of Springtime at the weekend and an Easter craft seemed to fit the bill (pun intended).

I like the way mine is looking a little afraid and his is looking a bit wicked!

To Make Easter Chicks

You will need

1 sheet of yellow funky foamor cardboard for the body
1 sheet of orange cardboard for the feet
googly eyes
a little bit of orange funky foam for the beak (if you’re using cardboard you will already have plenty!)

Method

Draw around an egg cup on the yellow funky foam or cardboard – he discovered that you don’t actually need to do this for the foam, you can just press down and the egg cup leaves a print

Cut around the circle
Cut a triangle of orange foam or cardboard for a beak and stick it on with glue – or, if you’re Bonus Boy, decide that glue just won’t cut it and come up with a self crafted peg instead

Snip off the top of the peg if you’re going for the emergent engineer option
Stick on a googly eye
Cut the feet out of orange cardboard

You can download the template here as a PDF : Chick feet template fold the cardboard up where you see the dotted line and pop your chick on top!

  Oh Lucy, how kind! Thank you! If you made them a little smaller you could definitely pop them on a cupcake, brilliant idea!

Ooh love these- they could be adapted to Robins for Christmas craft (planning ahead..!) Toddler’s favourite thing is Happy Feet at the moment so I think we’ll be making these and perhaps some penguin ones. Thanks for the idea! X
