March (week 11) - Easter Chick

Chicks are synonymous with Easter and this is a quick and easy piece of toddler art and craft to do. We bought a pack from Craft Crocodiles that had a lot of the materials already included so kind of a 'open and do' craft session with zero preparation.

The steps we followed to make our crafty toddler Easter chick:
/ Spread PVA glue over the entire chick.
/ Add shredded tissue for the tummy, glitter & sequins everywhere else.
/ Add boggling eye
/ Colour in beak
/ Stick on tail feathers

Our demo Easter egg dish

Here is how to make your Easter egg dish:
/ Draw a large egg shape in the middle of the paper plate with the felt tip pen and write your message(s) around the sides of the plate.
/ Draw wavy lines, circles, stripes, triangles within the egg shape.
/ Get painting! I added some PVA glue to the paint so that the glitter and confetti shapes stuck to the paint rather than needing to glue over the paint later.
/ Add your glitter and confetti shapes and leave to dry!
