Make this Easter Chick Paper Craft while reading these Fun Spring Books:

Step 1: Download and Print the Free Easter Chick Template

Download the Free Easter Chick Template. In the next step, learn how to quickly cut out as many shapes as you need.

Step 2: Staple and Cut Out the Easter Craft Shapes

Once you have the Easter chick template printed out, staple it to construction paper and cut out multiple shapes at a time.

Note: If you want to make this craft with a group of kids, you can staple the template to up to 10 sheets of copy paper, 5 sheets of cardstock or 6-10 sheets of construction paper.

So, did you know, you can staple together 10 pieces of copy paper and cut out 10 shapes at a time?! That’s my SECRET to fast & easy crafting.

Stapling the paper is very important because it makes sure it doesn’t move as you cut. The more staples the better. Cardstock is the thickest so you may only be able to cut 5 sheets at a time.

Step 3: How to Assemble

The kids will have so much fun making this easy hatching chick craft!

I recommend having a chick that is already put together so the children can see what the final version will look like.

1. Start by adding glue to the bottom of the chick. You want to keep the glue under its wings.
2. Glue the cracked egg shell to the bottom of the chick.
3. Glue or draw on the chick’s eyes.
4. Finally, glue on the chick’s beak.
5. Don’t forget to write your name on the back.

This is such a fun and simple Easter Activity for preschoolers. It’s the perfect Easter craft for preschool, nursery school, elementary school, for an Easter party or just a fun craft at home idea.
