Egg Carton Easter Chicks

DIY Egg Carton Easter Chicks, a great spring craft for kids! Part of Craft Lightning.

I love crafting with kids, especially when I get to upcycle something bound for the trash like an egg carton. My 10 year old had a blast making these little cuties and she loved the fact there was an hidden treasure inside.

These critters are fun for Easter or any time.

Supplies: an egg carton (mine is from Smith Brothers Farms… we already enjoyed all the fresh eggs!), yellow acrylic paint, yellow washi tape, googly eyes, orange felt, feathers, craft glue and scissors. Small treats like jelly beans are also a sweet touch.

First, kids can cut the carton apart. DIY Egg Carton Easter Chicks, a great spring craft for kids! Part of Craft Lightning.

They just need the egg cup parts.

Then kids paint the cups yellow.

And add a piece of washi tape to two stacked cups.

A dab of craft glue keeps the eyes in place.

And the kiddos can cut a triangle of felt for the beak and glue in to the top cup.

Then glue a feather to either side of the chick.
