Popsicle Stick Spring Chicks – Kids Craft

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe


Spring is among us and what better way to kick it off than with bright colors and a Spring Chicks kids craft? These do not take a lot of time, in fact, most of the duration is the drying of the glue.

Popsicle Stick Spring Chicks

With spring comes all kinds of fun. Easter is the first to come to my mind. Then you have the Spring smells, grass being cut and kids wanting to go outside and play.

Rainy days are craft days so we put together Spring Chicks using popsicle sticks (craft sticks).

How to make Popsicle Stick Spring Chicks

 Popsicle Stick Spring Chicks

Cut 2 pieces of the yellow paper about 7†long by 2†wide. Cut a little bit off one long side of each piece, in a curve like a crescent shape. These will be the chick’s wings.

On the first yellow paper wings, glue each yellow feather to the pointed ends and glue the orange feathers to the ends of the other paper wings. (Eight craft sticks should fit between the feathers on each of the yellow wings, so the feathered wings will stick out the sides of the chick once the craft sticks are glued down.)

Now take the craft sticks and glue 8 of them in a row, to the top of the yellow paper wings, between the orange feathers. If you have regular craft sticks you can easily paint them yellow. It should look like the orange feather wings stick out from each side of the chick’s body. Do the same thing with the other 8 craft sticks on the paper wings with the yellow feathers.

Glue 2 googly eyes on the front of each chick.

Fold a small piece of orange paper in half. Cut a triangle out, making sure the folded edge is the bottom edge of the triangle. Now it should open and shut like a beak. Make 2 of these and glue each one on your chicks.

Cut 4 little chicken feet from the orange paper and glue 2 on each of your chicks.

Lastly, glue on a small feather on the top backside of each chick to finish off these cute little chicks!

Let these dry for about 15 minutes.

    Happy Spring! Well, tomorrow. My grandchildren will really enjoy making these especially the younger two. Which is good because most things are hard for them and they need more help than they want.

    Cute idea! We have those popsicle sticks, just not in yellow. I love collecting craft materials for my kids for days inside.

    These are so cute! If my kids were younger, I know they’d have a blast making this. I will send the link over to my friend who is a pre school teacher. She would love to make this with her cute little students!
