Peekaboo Baby Chick
Materials: Yellow paper, pink paper, scissors, crafters tape (or glue), fine tip orange and black markers, a small piece of cardboard, and a clothespin. Cut out an egg shape from pink paper, about 2 inches tall and 1.5 inches wide. Cut out a zig-zag pattern from the egg, making it look like it was cracked open. Next, put some crafters tape or glue onto the tip of the clothespin, making sure to keep it open while you apply it, so it doesn’t adhere shut. Arrange your paper egg so that it is lined up evenly at the zigzag cut. Then place your clothespin onto the egg, lining it up with the zigzag pattern so it opens with the clothespin. Next, glue a small piece of cardboard to the back of your clothespin, where the chick will be placed to peek through the egg. Make sure it will line up correctly with the zigzag cut and that the face will be visible. Cut out a yellow shape to create the chick inside your egg. Draw a face with black markers for the eyes and an orange beak. Glue the chick to the cardboard piece, with the face up and in the best spot for the egg opening to show it when the clothespin is opened. You now have an adorable little baby chick playing peekaboo with you!
