This month Natalie Webb is showing us how to make Easter chicks.
“These cute chicks popping out of an egg would be great fun as an Easter weekend project!”
Materials:
• Yellow and orange card for the chick, and another colour of your choice for the egg.
• Scissors
• Glue
• Markers
• Lollipop Stick
Draw two egg shapes on your card approx 4” long and cut these out.
Decorate one of your egg shapes in a design of your choice, then draw a zig zag line about a third down and cut along this so that it looks like a broken eggshell.
Cut two little bits of sticky tape and roll them so that you make double-sided sticky tape; attach these on the back of your decorated egg shape – one each side near the bottom – then stick this to the undecorated egg shape.
Cut out a simple shape for a chick from your yellow card – this has to be smaller than your egg.
Draw circles for eyes and cheeks on your chick and cut out a small triangle of orange card for the beak.
Tape your stick on to the back of your chick so that it looks like a lollipop.
Stick the top part of the decorated egg on to your chick’s head.
Now slide the chick in to your egg, from the top down, and hopefully the egg will close and the chick will be snug inside…then when you push the stick up pops your chick!
Happy Easter…enjoy your chocolate : )
