Baby Chicks

Here's an Easter craft that is fun to assemble. You can also give these away to family members or get a small basket with Easter grass and set these little chicks in there and it could be a cute centerpiece. You could use more pastel colors though. Here's what you need:
*pastel craft paint
*styrofoam balls (2in and 1 1/2in)
*googly eyes
*pipe cleaners
*feathers
*something to poke a hole in the styrofoam(i used a skewer)

First, poke a hole down the middle of the big and small styrofoam balls. The hole should be big enough for a double piece of pipe cleaner to fit through. Next, let your child paint the balls.


When those are dry, take your pipe cleaner and fold it in half and twist the folded side around a feather. Slip it through the small ball, then the big ball. Shape the ends into feet. Then you can add googly eyes and small pieces of pipe cleaner for beaks. My daughter wanted to add tails. I said "why not?" Let them be creative.


Saetia wanted to add the photo she took with my phone (she's proud of her chicks)
