The Mom I Want to Be

Celebrate the impending arrival of Spring with this Baby Chick Collage! With just a little prep before you begin, this project is sure to be fun for you and your little one!

 

 

Yellow Construction Paper

Orange Construction Paper

Any color Construction Paper (to mount the chick on)

School Glue (or other adhesive)

Scissors

Yellow Paint or Do-A-Dot Paint roller in Yellow

Googlie Eye

Assorted Collage Materials in Yellow (feathers, pipe cleaners, pom-poms,etc,)

 

Before You Begin With Your Kids:  Cut 1 large and 1 medium circle from the yellow construction paper. Cut two long, thin rectangles (for the legs) and three small triangles (for the feet and beak) out of the orange paper.  Allow your child to paint the large circle (will become the chick’s body).  Next, add the collage materials to the large circle. Set aside. Glue the triangle feet to the chick legs. Glue the large circle to the mounting paper, only at the center of the circle (so you can add the legs and head later). Dab a little glue on the ends of the legs and slip them under the body.  Glue down the head next to the body. Add the eye and beak and let dry!
