How to Make the Chick Name Craft

1. Color the Template

Start by coloring all the pieces of the template. Encourage kids to think about how they want their Easter egg to look; bright colors, patterns, or even themed designs like stripes or polka dots.

Let kids focus on decorating their egg pieces. This step gives them ownership of their craft and encourages creativity.

👉 Tip: Model a few pattern ideas on the board to inspire creativity.

2. Cut Out the Pieces

Carefully cut out:

• The chick
• The cracked egg top
• The egg bottom
• The letter circles

For younger children, pre-cutting or assisting with tricky edges can help reduce frustration.

3. Assemble the Chick

Glue the chick between the top and bottom egg pieces so it looks like it’s peeking out of a cracked egg.

4. Spell the Name

Have children place their letter circles in order before gluing. This is a great opportunity to:

• Say each letter out loud
• Practice spelling their name
• Check for correct sequencing

5. Glue the Letters

Once the name is in order, glue the circles onto the bottom or top egg piece.

6. Add Final Details

Kids can add outlines, shading, or extra decorations like flowers, dots, or stickers. We used a black Sharpie to trace our design to really make our Easter eggs pop.

Tips for Success (Classroom & Home)

• Make it a center activity:
  Set up a crafting station with pre-cut pieces for independent work
• Use as a name reference:
  Display finished crafts on a bulletin board for daily name recognition practice
• Avoid overwhelm:
  Break the activity into two sessions (coloring one day, assembling the next)

Easy Variations

Switch things up to keep this craft fresh year after year:

• Rainbow Chick Craft: Use only rainbow colors for a themed activity
• Pattern Practice Version: Assign specific patterns (AB, ABC) for the egg design
• Sticker Egg Craft: Replace coloring with sticker decorating or Do a Dot Marker stamping
