DLTK's Crafts for Kids
Handprint Chick Paper Craft
This cute chick will
give you something to remember those little crafting fingers with.
(It makes a great gift for long distance grandparents!) |
 |
Materials:
 |
a printer, |
|
paper for the printer, |
|
yellow or white construction paper |
|
scissors, |
|
glue, |
|
crayons (or something else
to colour with). |
Instructions:
|
Print out the template of choice.
|
|
Colour (where appropriate) and
cut out the template pieces.
|
|
Glue the face pieces (circle
eyes and triangle beak) onto the head.
|
|
Glue the legs onto the body.
|
|
Now comes the fun part!
Trace your child's hands onto another piece of paper (yellow construction
paper works well or use white paper and colour in).
|
|
Glue the hands onto the body
(thumbs up) to form wings. |
Alternative decorating ideas:
|
Instead of gluing on the wings,
you can use brass bendable tack things so the wings can be moved (I always
forget what those things are called!)
|
|
If you don't have a colour printer,
you can print one black & white copy on yellow construction paper and
a second copy on white. Then mix and match the pieces.
|
|
Buy feathers (or pluck your
old feather duster!) and glue a few feathers onto the top of the chick's
head. |
| Close the template window after printing to
return to this screen.
| Set page margins to zero if you have trouble
fitting the template on one page (FILE, PAGE SETUP in most browsers).
