What You Need:

How To Make It
 
  1. Use the hole punch to make eyes out of black construction paper.
  2. Cut a small square from orange construction paper and fold it in half to form a triangle for the beak.
  3. Glue one cotton ball into the bottom of the egg shell. Glue the other cotton ball on top for the head.
  4. Glue on the two eyes and beak.
  5. You're done!




Easter Basket
What You Need
 
  • 1 strawberry basket
  • Pipecleaners for handle, optional
  • Colored paper or ribbon strips
  • Scissors
  • To fill basket: 'grass', shredded paper, etc.

 
How To Make It
 
  1. Weave strips of paper or ribbon in and out of the holes in the basket.
  2. Make the handle out of pipecleaners, if desired.
  3. Fill with some Easter 'grass' or shredded paper, then add some small goodies.




Easter Chick in Decorated Egg
What You Need
 
  • 2 pages from an old wallpaper book
  • Plain white paper
  • Yellow tissue paper
  • Small scrap of orange construction paper
  • White glue
  • Pencil
  • Scissors
  • Crayons or markers

 
How To Make It
 
  1. From each wallpaper page cut half an egg shape. Make the straight edge of each sawtooth. The egg would be almost the full length of a page taken from a wallpaper sample book; so I'd estimate each section to be about ten to twelve inches but could be any size you choose.
  2. Glue egg sections together so that they looked hinged. The top half looks like it is hatching.
  3. On the white paper draw a chick's head -- this will eventually be in the egg opening, so use this as a guide to the chick's size. The chick's head is done full face.
  4. Tear or cut yellow tissue paper into small squares. These will be twisted over the eraser end of a pencil. I would use about two inch tissue paper squares for the younger set and an inch to one and a half for the older children.
  5. Draw and color eyes on the chick's head. Now cover the remaining space with glue and begin twisting yellow tissue paper around the eraser end of a pencil.
  6. Place tissue pieces on chick's head -- using pencil to apply. The twisted tissue paper will resemble feathers.
  7. Cut a diamond shape from orange construction paper for the beak. Glue it on the chick's head.
  8. Place chick behind hinged egg, so that it is peeking out -- glue, tape or staple in place.
  9. Display your masterpiece.
