Chicks in a Basket
Jessica explains how to make this fun craft.

Materials Needed:

  • Cottonballs
  • Egg carton
  • Yellow food dye
  • Bits of orange paper
  • Marker
Instructions:
Dip one large cotton ball in yellow dye with water added, let dry.

When yellow cotton ball is dry, draw two small speck eyes on it. Cut a triangle out of orange paper to make a beak. Glue it on the cotton ball just below the eyes.

Cut egg carton so you have one section. Sit chick in carton section to make it look like it is sitting in a basket!

(You can add some Easter grass inside the basket and a chenille stem handle if wanted.)
