One
of the most original Easter activities is the following you'll
find on my website is the cute chicken. As the name suggests,
it's incredibly cute... :-)
You'll need:
egg-box
(for the body and the wings)
all
purpose adhesive
scissors
red
felt (for the crests)
yellow cardboard (for the
beak)
feather (for the tail)
white
paper (for the eyes)
black marker
pen
Print and
cut the patterns out.
Outline the
patterns.
The cut out pieces.
(The wings are made of the
lid of the egg-box.)
Cut the
middle part, the peaks of
the box.
It looks like above.
Cut the bottom of the
peak round as shown.
It's the result.
First,
glue the two red felt pieces about the middle of the peak.
Next, glue the beak as
shown and hold it for a
few minutes.
Then, glue the
edge of the first wing on the back of the chicken.
Do the same with the
second wing.
Glue the two white eyes
and draw two dots with
the black marker.
Next, is the
feather.
Glue it on the back of
the chicken between the wings. Hold it for a few minutes.
Finally, glue the crest
on the top of the
chicken and hold it until it stands firmly.
Wait 5-10 minutes until
everything completely
dried.
