You will need:

• Yellow pom poms
• Orange card
• Googly eyes
• An egg box
• Scissors
• Glue – we used PVA glue
• Acrylic paints
• Paint brush

Step 1: Cut your egg box into segments

Carefully cut your egg box into segments of each egg cup.

Step 2: Cut some cracks in each shell

Cut the edges of each little egg cup into zig zags.

Step 3: Paint your egg shells

Paint each egg shell in your chosen colours.

We made a nice duck egg blue colour using blue and white paint.

Step 4: Flick on some speckles

Dip a paint brush in brown paint and use your fingers to flick little speckles of paint all over each painted egg shell.

Step 5: Make some beaks

Fold a piece of orange card in half and cut out little triangles.

Open each up to make little diamond shapes for the chick’s beak.

Step 6: Make your chicks

Gather three yellow pom poms.

You can buy these ready made.

Glue on googly eyes and your beak.

Step 7: Pop your little chicks in their shells

Pop each little pom pom chick into an egg shell and add another as a hat to make it look like your chick is hatching out of their egg.
