Hey Chickie!

Get your children clucking up a storm with this adorable spring craft!

This project was incredibly easy to create and fun to teach!

I started with recycled tp rolls. After each child colored the body of the chick, I applied it to the roll and cut it down to size.



Next the children were asked where they thought the body parts of the chicks would go. If they were unsure, we used ourselves as examples and placed the pieces in the appropriate spots.



As we glued, I asked questions such as

"What does chick start with?"

"What color is your chicks body?"

"What color are his/her feet?"

And of course, "What sound does a chick make?"































The children spent the remainder of the afternoon, walking around the house clucking with their baby chicks.

Easter Bunny Doorhangers!

Whether you believe in the Easter Bunny or not, this is an adorable craft that children will love to color and put together!

As usual, I printed one copy of the project in color and assembled it to show the children how the end project would look.


This craft is printed on 4 separate pages. Once all the pages were colored, I placed them in one pile and cut them all out at once. This saves a bunch of time for restless little ones.

After I had all the pieces cut, I loosely placed them in the order that they'd be glued together.

With little assistance from me, the children glued the pieces of their bunnies together.

Once complete, the children picked a doorknob as their own and proudly displayed their creations until parents arrived.

A finished masterpiece!
