Easter Chick Crafts 1 - Cute Fingerprint Easter Chick
Supplies:
Paint - Yellow
Warm soapy water
Orange and Blue Fibre-tip pens or marker
Piece of A4 blank paper
Newspaper
Directions:
To help the process run smoothly, mix the yellow paint before hand.
Each preschoolers has a turn to place their thumb or finger in the premixed yellow paint. With a help of a teacher, place the child's finger print gently onto the piece of white paper.
Have a basin full of warm soapy water, for the kids to wash their hands in, while they wait for the paint to dry.
Once dried, let them draw the chicks beak and eyes using an orange and blue colored marker. Now let the children draw orange x or crosses as the chicks feet at the bottom of the fingerprint. Now let them draw a sun, flowers on their paper and remember to add their names.
Easter Chick Crafts 2 - Easter Chick Paper Plate Craft
Materials:
Plain white paper plate
Orange paper
Two googly eyes
Paint- yellow
Feathers - yellow
Glue
Directions:
Paint both sides of the paper plate in yellow paint. Allow time to dry. Once completely dry, you need to fold the paper plate in half. Place the paper plate on its curved side.
Using the googly eyes, paste one on each side of the folded plate. Now draw and cut out a triangle on the orange paper. Glue the triangle across the fold of the paper plate, just above the eyes. This is the chicks beak. Place a blob of glue and stick the feathers on either side of the body. Preferably in the middle of the paper plate.
Easter Chick Crafts 3 - Yellow Foot Chick
Materials:
Paint- yellow
White paper A4
Fibre-tip pens / orange markers
warm soapy water
Newspaper
Directions:
Place the ready mixed yellow paint inside a wise dish, with sides. This dish needs to be big enough for a child's foot. Lay down newspaper under the yellow paint dish as well as the white A4 paper.
The children need to be barefoot. Each child is to place one of their feet into the yellow paint and step directly onto the white paper. Tip: Have the paint, paper and tub of warm soapy water in a line, one after the other. This helps minimize the mess.
Once the child has left a yellow footprint on the paper, have them step into the soapy water and wash the paint off their foot. Dry. Once the paint is dry, turn the paper around until the heel faces to the top, this will be the chicks head.
Using fibre-tip pens / markers add eyes and a beak to the chick. The kids can embellish their work by adding grass, a sun, clouds etc. Do not forget their name.
