Start Your Baby Chick Craft!
Step 1: Gather your materials! If you are doing this craft with ages 2-3, then you will want to prep your clothes pin feathers. I used normal Elmers glue and it didn’t work! Use hot glue if you are doing this yourself, if you have ages 4-5 participating then use an Elmer’s craft/ fabric glue.
Step 2: Get painting! Have your little ones use either a sponge or foam brush to cover the paper plate with yellow paint! I used a pink plate because it’s what I had handy. White plates work the best.
Step 3: Cut a triangle out of your orange construction paper, now you have a beak! Glue the beak down and add the googly eyes!
Show Off Your Handmade Paper Plate Chick!
Step 4: Add the feathers! Have your little ones build their pincher skills by clipping each clothes pin to the plate. Add the feathers anywhere you want! Some chicks will end up looking a little crazy, but that’s all part of the fun!
