Easter Chicks Craft

What You Do:

1. Have your child put a bit of the yellow paint and a few drops of water into a ziploc bag and mix well.
2. Place cotton balls in the bag to soak up the paint.
3. Put the wet, yellow cotton balls on a piece of wax paper to dry.
4. Now your child can cut one cup out of the egg carton.
5. Show her how to cut the edges in a zigzag pattern. so the carton looks like half of a cracked egg-shell.
6. Paint the shell white, or leave it natural for a brown egg.
7. Glue a dried yellow cotton ball into the bottom of the carton cup.
8. Glue a second yellow cotton ball on top of the first ball. This is the baby chick!
9. Cut a small triangle out of orange construction paper for the beak, and fold it in half.
10. Glue the beak onto the cotton ball.
11. Glue googly eyes above the beak.

Make a few more and place them in a basket for a whole family of chicks!
