To make each chick:
1. Cut two egg carton cups. Glue a 1/2″ x 1-3/4″ piece of paper to each half, acting as a hinge.

2. Paint throughout.
3. Take small pieces of card stock, two yellow and two orange, each measuring approximately 1″ x
1/2″. Fold a 1/4″ flap from the edge. From the fold, cut into triangles.
4. Affix one yellow triangle on each side of the inner bottom egg carton cup. Affix one orange triangle
on the front of the inner top and another on the inner bottom egg carton cup.
5. Cut orange card stock into feet and adhere to the bottom cup. Take a black marker and draw small
eyes.
Fill with candy treats, give away, and watch your loved ones chirp with delight.
How to make Egg Carton Daffodils
1. First, tear the 'cup' parts off the egg carton. Tear the edges roughly by hand so they look like natural ruffles.
2. Ask children to observe daffodils outside or in photos. Paint the torn egg cartons with yellow & orange colors to
make the middle part of the flower.
Tip: With normal acrylic paints, yellow paints are translucent and white paints are opaque. So if you paint yellow color
directly onto a dark egg carton, it can look dull. Paint them with white first, wait until it dries completely then paint
yellow color on top. This way the yellow will look vivid and bright.

3. Daffodils have 6 petals, ask children to count the number of petals and help them draw a template. Or you can
print our template onto white or yellow papers and use this as a guide. Pinch the middle of each petal to make it more
3-dimensional as in the photo below.

4. Glue the painted egg cups in the middle. Done!
Decorate your room or furniture with the lovely paper daffodils and enjoy the early spring! How about decorating a gift
