Instructions

    1. We are going to start by painting the egg. Turn the paper plate over and paint the back to look like an Easter egg. Kids can use pastel colors, stripes, dots, zigzags, or any egg design they like. Set the plate aside to dry completely.Close-up of a white paper plate with hand-painted zigzag stripes in bright pink and purple across the middle. A paint palette with green, pink, and purple paint and a flat paintbrush is partially visible to the side, resting on yellow construction paper. A painted paper plate with zigzag stripes in pink, purple, and green is glued onto yellow and orange construction paper, forming the bottom half of a cracked Easter egg. A paint palette with leftover paint and a brush is visible beside the project.
    2. Next we are going to make the chick. From yellow construction paper, cut out one large circle for the chick’s body and two small wing shapes. From orange construction paper, cut out a small triangle for the beak.

Part of a painted paper plate with pink, purple, and green zigzag stripes is visible in the top left corner.
    3. Glue the wings onto the sides of the yellow circle. Add the orange beak to the center of the chick’s face. Use a black marker or crayon to draw two eyes. A small chick face made from yellow and orange paper is assembled on a white surface, with black marker dots for eyes and a small orange triangle for the beak. To the side are a glue stick and black marker, next to a brightly painted paper plate with pink, purple, and green zigzag stripes.
    4. Glue the finished chick to the top of a popsicle stick. Press firmly and let it dry so the chick stays secure.
    5. Once the paint on the paper plate is dry, cut the plate in half using a zigzag or curved line to look like a cracked egg.
    6. Finaly dlide the chick on the popsicle stick behind the plate. Slowly lift the stick upward so the chick pops out of the cracked egg.
