DLTK's Crafts for Kids
Chick Paper Craft

This chick is a simple cut and paste paper craft that is fun for young children to make.  It makes a great project for preschool and kindergarten kids and works well for an animals, birds or chicks theme.

There is a small (single page) and larger (two templates) version to choose from.

Materials:

  • something to colour with if using the B&W version,
  • scissors,
  • glue, and
  • paper
     
  • You can use brass tacks instead of glue to attach the head or wings if you want them to be moveable.

Instructions:

  • Print out the template of choice.
     
  • Colour (where appropriate).
     
  • Cut out the template pieces -- parents can help cut out some of the more difficult pieces like the wings while children work on the easier pieces like the body and legs.
     
  • Glue the chick together in the following order:
    • glue the feet behind the body
    • glue the wings onto the body
    • glue the egg into one of the hands
    • glue the head onto the body
    • glue the beak onto the head
               
    • See picture on the template for further help
       

Templates: 

  • 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 or FILE, PRINTER SETUP in most browsers).
