Handprint art and crafts are always popular with kids, I mean who doesn’t love using their hands as paint brushes?

We shared an adorable Easter bunny handprint artwork a while back, and while this Easter chick looked pretty cool as a handprint on paper, the idea of a 3D chick that could stand on its own seemed interesting. So we made one.

How to make chicken hand crafts for kids

What you need:

black marker (thick)
white construction paper
green paper
toilet paper roll (or other paper roll)
red paper
yellow or orange paper
drag
glue

Step by step instructions

Place your left hand outstretched on a piece of white cardboard.

Draw around your finger with a black marker (you can also use a pencil and trace over it with a marker later).

Do not draw around the wrist.

Take your hands off.

Perfect the shape.

Draw wings (inside the palm) and a dot for an eye (on the thumb). Draw a few lines for feathers.

Cut the chicken (cut along the contour of your hand).

Take the toilet paper roll and cut it into a smaller roll (about a third of the roll).

Cut two slits across the roll of paper (one slit across the other).

Draw a hen on red paper…

And a beak on orange or yellow paper…

And cut them out.

Stick it on the chicken head.

Push the chicken into the slits you made on the paper roll.

Cut a strip of green paper. Cut out the “grass”.

Glue around the paper roll.

Bend the grass.

And that’s it, you have completed your chicken handprint craft.
