Directions to make your own chick craft
STEP 1: Gather your supplies
Before you get started, gather up all your supplies. It's much easier to have it all rounded up before hand so you're not running around while your kids are waiting.
STEP 2: Paint the wooden eggs
To get started, paint the wooden eggs in the colour of your choice. To get the bold bright colours shown below you will need roughly 2-3 coats of paint. Be sure to allow ample time to dry in between each coat and after the last coat is applied. If doing this craft with younger toddlers they may be happy with just the one coat of paint.
STEP 3: Add feathers
Next, cut small bits of feather to glue onto the side of your egg. We chose feathers to match the colours of our eggs, but you can see what combinations your child decides to go with! A rainbow Easter chick would be fun!
Continue adding more feathers until you are satisfied with the fullness of the wings. You can also glue on an entire feather to the side if you prefer!
STEP 4: Create a face for your Easter chick
To finish off your chick craft, draw some eyes with a pencil and then trace over them with a black paint pen or marker. Younger children may prefer to use googly eyes!
Then, cut a small diamond shape out of orange or yellow cardstock to make the beak. Fold it in half and glue onto the face.
There you have it, an adorable and colourful Easter chick. Why not make a whole set!
