Cute Hatching Chick Craft and Free Template for Easter

Use the FREE template to make a CUTE Hatching Chick Craft for Easter. Just follow the easy directions and let kids have FUN being creative!

Children can make a hatching chick craft for Easter with our free template to decorate for spring. The template comes with two versions because I love giving you options. Once the template is printed kids will decorate an egg, make a chick, and assemble the craft. Once it’s completed the egg can crack open to reveal a cute little hatching chick inside. Your kids will love it!

Here are Little Tiger and Little Dragon with their Easter Egg Chicks. Didn’t they turn out too cute! They love how the egg opens and closes so their chick can peek out.

Video Tutorial available on Youtube too and while you are there, we would love it if you would subscribe to our channel!

Print the egg template on white or colored paper depending on if you want a plain white egg for decorating or a colored Easter egg. Print the chick template on yellow paper.

You can let kids decorate the egg template or leave it plain white. We used Washi Tape and Fast Drying Paint Sticks/Kwikstix because they dry so fast, allowing us to finish it in one sitting. You could also use makers, crayons, or paint. Once they are done decorating and everything is dry have them cut it out, including the line in the middle.

Let kids decorate the chick template and draw eyes or glue on goodly eyes.  Color the beak and feet orange.  Cut the chick template out, making sure to only cut the outline of the chick and not the inside of it’s wings or they will fall off (which can always be fixed with a little tape).

Line up the templates so the chick is behind the egg. I clipped each side with clothespins to hold everything in place.

Punch a hole towards the bottom of each egg piece and secure the chick and egg together with a brad and the chick is ready to play peek a boo this Easter!

Peek a boo!
