Lisa says:
These are really cute, my kids made them last year and will make them again this year. The grandparents really loved them.

What to do:

1. First you'll need a sheet of yellow construction paper, cut this into alarge egg shape.
2. Next, you will need a orange sheet of construction paper, cut two legs with feet for your chick. Glue or tape these to the bottom back side of the egg shape.
3. Cut a  two triangle shapes out of the orange construction paper- this is the beak of your chick.  Fold this to be a little dimensional.
4. Place two wiggley eyes (you can get these at the craft store) above the beak of chick. Next comes the cute part. Trace your childs two hands.  Cut these out and glue them with pinky fingers closest to the back side body of the chick, these are the wings of the chick.
5. You can write  Happy
   Easter  on the lower body of the chick.
   Enjoy :-)

Ideas from you

From: Theresa Wagar
Howdy folks -- I'm excited about making chicks with my 2 boys (2 & 4 years).  Wouldn't it be great using craft foam, too?   And then put  a magnet on theback.  Would make a cute gift the kids could do for grandparents for Easter :)

This new edition includes two additional chapters explaining how to reach children with learning problems or special needs and how to incorporate drawing into other subjects, such as math and language.
