(Singing) Here comes Peter Cottontail, hopping down the bunny trail...But wait a minute! What about the precious, adorable, cute little fuzzy chick that sometimes gets overlooked as an Easter friend? Here is a fun craft for you to make with your kids that is sure to bring creativity, and whimsy to life.

How to make a Chick In A Basket:

Materials Needed:

One Large Yellow Pom Pom
Orange Construction Paper
Black Construction Paper
One Section From an Egg Carton
One Pipe Cleaner
Glue
Other Embellishments (Optional)

Instructions
Glue the yellow pom pom into the section cut from the egg carton. (Like it's sitting in a basket)

Create a beak using the orange construction paper and glue to the yellow pom pom.

Create eyes using the black construction paper and glue those to the yellow pom pom.

Glue the pipe cleaner so that it creates a handle for the basket. You may want to use small clothespins to hold the pipe cleaner onto the "basket" until the glue dries. Even a paper clip would do the job.

You may choose to embellish the "basket" with beads, paper in a variety of colors, glitter, small silk flowers, or ribbons.

Now you have created a Chick In A Basket! Children are sure to love this fun, "feathered" friend. These are great to make with your kids, in a classroom, or church functions.
