Whether you’re a parent, teacher, or childcare provider, this craft isn’t just easy to make but also brimming with opportunities to teach kids about fine motor skills, color coordination, and springtime themes!
This torn paper and paper plate hatching Easter chick craft idea is particularly unique because of its versatility. Unlike traditional crafts that rely on precise cuts or drawings, this one thrives on imperfections. The finished product will have its own quirks and charm, making each chick as unique as the child who makes it!
The best part? It requires just a handful of materials—most of which you probably already have at home. It’s budget-friendly, engaging, and celebrates the cheerfulness of spring.
Craft Supplies:
Gather these simple materials before you start:
- “EASTER CHICK” PRINTABLE – from our landing page
- Choice of Color Cardstock Paper
- Yellow Construction Paper
- Orange Construction Paper
- Large White Paper Plate
- Large Wiggle Eyes – two per craft
- School Glue or Glue Stick
- Embellishments
These materials are inexpensive and readily available. If you don’t have construction paper, feel free to use magazine pages, gift wrapping paper, or even old catalogs. Mix and match textures for extra fun!
Directions:
Now, let’s get to the fun part—the step-by-step guide!
- First download and print out the FREE blank chick printable listed above, on a single sheet of cardstock paper. You can do any color of cardstock paper but I highly suggest a nice pastel color so the white paper plate really POPS from the scene.
- Next help your child cut/tear their YELLOW construction paper into small pieces.
- Grab the school glue and help them put a good amount inside the circle design.
- Have children place their paper pieces on top of the glue {adding more if needed} until it’s is completely filled in.
- Now grab the paper plate and cut it in half, like a broken egg shell. Set one of the pieces aside for repeating the craft later.
- Assist your child on gluing the paper plate piece, towards the bottom of the torn paper design to give the look of the chick breaking out of it’s “shell.”
- The final step is to add TWO wiggle eyes and a triangle nose to bring it to life.
- And just like that, your Torn Paper Yellow Chick craft is complete! Set aside to let it all dry completely before displaying your child’s hatching baby chick craft proudly to all see!
Take a photo of their finished masterpiece and share it on social media to spread the creative spirit!
