These cute little chicks are the perfect little addition to any Easter basket, bonnet or table. Plus they are so simple to make.
What You Need:
- A pine cone
- Yellow paint (if you don’t have paint see our DIY paint recipes here)
- Orange foam or stiff card (or you could colour in plain card)
- Googley eyes (or a permanent marker pen)
- Yellow plasticine or playdough (see our DIY recipe here)
- A small piece of tin foil (around 4x4cm)
- Scissors
- Glue
- Pencil
How To Make:
- Start by painting your pine cone yellow and set aside to dry. This will form the body of the chick.
- Next on your orange card draw your feet making sure that they have a space in the middle to glue the body to. Cut out.
- Now on your orange card, draw a small triangle for the beak and cut out.
- Scrunch up your tin foil into a small ball
- Using a small amount of playdough create a flattened circle on the table and place the foil ball in the middle.
- Wrap the playdough around the foil until the foil is covered and the ball is smooth. This will form the head.
- Glue the beak to the centre of the ball and then add the eyes.
- Once the pine cone body is dry, glue the pine cone (tilted at an angle), to the orange cardboard feet.
- Finally glue the head to the top of the body.
- Leave to dry.
- Ta dah! A cute little Easter chick









Please note we found you do need a good blob of glue and sometimes a spare pair of hands to help glue the body parts together.
We also recommend wearing aprons or old clothes for any crafts.
