While looking for Easter crafts for the boys, we stumbled upon the most adorable paper plate craft of a baby chick! We loved that little guy so much we decided to make him a lamb friend! We think anything with googly eyes is hysterical, so of course, we had a lot of fun with these silly Easter characters.
This little art project is great for a variety of age groups! It’s the PERFECT Easter craft for kids in preschool and kindergarten who want to be more independent with their work, and it comes together so quickly that you can hold the attention of a toddler!
Materials for the Chick: A yellow paper plate (we had white paper plates so we painted one yellow with acrylic paint), orange scrapbook paper, yellow feathers, googly eyes, craft glue, and scissors.
Materials for the Lamb: A white paper plate, cotton balls, gray or black scrapbook paper, googly eyes, craft glue, and scissors.
Directions:
1. Glue cotton balls to the paper plate until it’s covered.
2. Cut out four strips of scrapbook paper for the legs, an oval for the head, and two little oval ears.
3. Fold the four strips accordion-style and glue them to the back of the plate.
4. Glue ears onto the back of the lamb’s head and googly eyes to the front.
5. Glue the lamb’s head onto the cotton ball-covered plate.
We hope you and your little ones enjoy making these as much as we did! What other animals could you make with a paper plate, googly eyes, and some accordion legs? We’d love to see! We tried something similar for Halloween HERE.
