How to Make the Hatching Chick Craft
1. Download and Print the Template
Grab the free printable template (color or black-and-white) and print it on white cardstock. The black-and-white version lets kids get creative and color the chick and eggshell themselves!
2. Color the Pieces
If you chose the black-and-white version, start by coloring the chick’s face, the top and bottom eggshells, and the whole egg. Go for fun, bright, and festive Easter colors!
3. Cut Out the Pieces
Carefully cut out the chick, top eggshell, and bottom eggshell. Younger kids may need a little help with this step.
4. Assemble the craft
Glue the bottom part of the eggshell to the base, leaving a small gap unglued at the bottom. This will allow the chick to move more freely.
5. Add the Stick
Attach a popsicle stick to the back of the chick using glue or tape. Now you can slide the stick up and down to make the chick peek out from the egg!
Tips for Extra Fun
Glitter Magic: Add glitter or stickers to the eggshell for extra sparkle.
Make a Puppet Show: Create a whole batch of chicks for a fun Easter puppet show.
