Suggested Family Activity 🐣 Easter Chic Craft

Published by Library Staff on

With Easter coming up this weekend, make this cute Easter chick craft project from a simple loop of paper that has been curled around and taped together.

You’ll need:

  • Yellow paper
  • Scissors
  • Glue
  • 3 yellow feathers
  • 1 orange pipe cleaner
  • Markers or crayons (black & orange)

To turn these supplies into your Easter chick, follow these simple instructions:

  1. Cut a 2” x 6” strip of yellow paper. Glue the short ends together to make a loop.
  2. Cut the pipe cleaner in half, then cut 2” off both pieces. Twist one short piece around the end of one long piece. Repeat with the other pieces to make two feet. Glue to the bottom of the paper loop.
  3. Draw on the eyes and a beak.
  4. Glue a feather on the inside of each side of the loop. Glue the last one to the back as a tail feather.

If you do not have any feathers or a pipe cleaner, you can draw those pieces on paper and cut them out to use.  Or look around your house (and even outside) to see what kind of things you can substitute.  A drinking straw or a small stick could make your chick’s feet, while you can make feathers out of paper, cloth, or even thin pieces of recycled plastic.
