Easter chick

A bright, fun and simple Easter art activity for young children. Our Easter Chick Craft Is Lovely and messy!

I love the kids art around spring time, they always seem extra proud of spring art, kids seem to have a natural love of baby chicks and baby lambs and really enjoy the cute aspect of creating spring art work.

What You'll Need To Make Our Easter Chick Craft

• white paper
• yellow paint
• paint tray/old plate
• scissors
• paper plate
• nice scrap paper - shades of blue cut into small triangles
• A4 sheet of yellow paper
• A4 sheet of orange paper
• brown pencil
• sticky tape

How To Make Easter Chicks

Step One

• Firstly tip the yellow paint into the paint tray/old plate and make lots and lots of yellow handprints, once the handprints are dry cut them out - young children will need help with this.

Step Two

• Cut the paper plate in half - leaving a zigzag edge for the cracked egg shell effect, Splatter the paper plate with glue and stick on the blue triangles - this will be the egg shell.

Step Three

• Cut a circle out of the yellow paper to be the chicks body, Stick this to the egg shell, Splatter the yellow circle with glue and stick on the yellow handprints - these will be the fluffy spring chick.

Step Four

• Next cut out two circles from white paper and colour pupils with a brown pencil - these are the chicks eyes, Cut out a triangle of orange paper to be the chicks beak.

Step Five

• Stick the eyes and beak onto the chick with glue.
