* Large Paper Plate {one per craft}
* Jumbo Popsicle Sticks {9 per chick craft}
* School Glue
* Yellow Craft Paint
* Paint Brush
* Orange Craft Cardstock

Directions:

* First cut your paper plate in half. Reserve one half for today’s craft and save the other for a rainy day.
* Now take your paper plate half and cut it to look like a hatching egg shell. Set aside.
* Next grab your jumbo popsicle sticks. Glue them in a fence formation. Seven next to each other and two across. Set aside to let it dry.
* Now grab your yellow paint. Paint your newly made popsicle stick shape, completely yellow. Again, set aside.
* Grab your orange cardstock. Cut out a triangular nose for your chick.
