Watch as this Easter chick hatches off the page with this paper craft. Children of all ages will have fun creating this Easter decoration.

What you'll need:

How to make it:

1. From each wallpaper page cut half an egg shape. Make the straight edge of each sawtooth. The egg would be almost the full length of a page taken from a wallpaper sample book; so I'd estimate each section to be about ten to twelve inches but could be any size you choose.
2. Glue egg sections together so that they looked hinged. The top half looks like it is hatching.
3. On the white paper draw a chick's head -- this will eventually be in the egg opening, so use this as a guide to the chick's size. The chick's head is done full face.
4. Tear or cut yellow tissue paper into small squares. These will be twisted over the eraser end of a pencil. Try using about two inch tissue paper squares for the younger set and an inch to one and a half for the older children.
5. Draw and color eyes on the chick's head. Now cover the remaining space with glue and begin twisting yellow tissue paper around the eraser end of a pencil.
6. Place tissue pieces on chick's head -- using pencil to apply. The twisted tissue paper will resemble feathers.
7. Cut a diamond shape from orange construction paper for the beak. Glue it on the chick's head.
8. Place chick behind hinged egg, so that it is peeking out -- glue, tape or staple in place.
9. Display your masterpiece.

Tips:

Younger children may need help spreading the glue so that they don't use too much.
