Looking for an easy Spring or Easter craft? This cute chick craft is made up of simple 2D shapes. Don’t you love it when crafts and math combine!
For this craft I used:
- yellow paper for the body, wings and feathers
- orange paper for the beak, legs and feet
- pink paper for the cheeks
- white paper for the eyes and recording sheet
All of these can be run through the photocopier or printed directly onto the colored paper. This makes the craft super quick to prep!
Students gather the pieces they need: 1 yellow, 1 orange, 1 pink and 2 white (circles & recording sheet).
The craft is assembled by:
- Glueing the larger yellow circle onto the smaller circle to make the body and head.
- A triangle on each side of the body for wings.
- A triangle on top of the head. This triangle can be snipped with scissors to look more like feathers.
- The diamond is folded in half and glued on as the beak.
- The longer rectangles are glued on as legs with the shorter rectangles for feet
- The white circles are glued on as eyes with black circles drawn in with marker.
- The pink circles can be added as cheeks.
Don’t forget to add in a little math practice with counting and shape recognition. Glue this little recording sheet on the back of each chick and have your kiddos count up all the shapes they used. If you don’t want to hide all that awesome counting…the chick and recording sheet could also be glued onto a piece of construction paper together. They would make a great display!
