This is a quick and fun activity for the littles in the days before Easter that doesn’t require too much prep for them to do it all themselves. When Wee One #3 does something entirely on her own, she’s the happiest kid in. the. world.<\/b><\/p>\n

The prep took me maybe half an hour the night before and it entertained both girls for way longer than it should have – almost an hour<\/i>. That’s like, daaaaays in preschooler time! Of course they got glue all over the table and a little on themselves, but they also made 5 of these little Easter chicks each and they’re currently hanging in the living room window to decorate our patio! Cute!<\/p>\n

\"Paper<\/p>\n

You’ll need:<\/p>\n

yellow paper plates
\nyellow wings (either teardrop shapes cut from construction paper or craft feathers)
\norange construction paper legs (accordion long strips of paper)
\norange construction paper feet
\nsmall orange diamonds for beaks
\nglue (most fun for littles is a fresh bottle of white glue)
\ngoogley eyes (or you can lose them the night before like I did, and suggest they use markers)<\/p>\n

I made one myself after I had prepped all the pieces so they’d have a finished product to go by, but I told them if they wanted the accordion legs to be arms, that’s their call. They ended up making them as I had because they decided that was ‘the cutest way’. <\/p>\n

I’m sure you can figure it out, but they found it helpful to glue the feet to the legs and then glue the legs to the body.<\/p>\n
