Chick Paper Plate Craft

As an art teacher to preschoolers, kindergartners, and first graders, I have made my fair share of paper plate crafts. The best part about paper plates is their endless possibilities!

Although it’s still below freezing outside, I thought I could will spring’s return with a chick paper plate craft. It also gave me the opportunity to talk with the boys about what came first: the chicken or the egg.  Just kidding! 

  • my chick template
  • paper plate
  • yellow paint
  • construction paper: yellow and orange
  • scissors
  • glue

  1. Print out my chick craft template.
  2. Paint paper plate or color and set aside to dry.
  3. Trace and cut out head, beak, feet, wing, and eye using construction paper.
  4. For this project I used the whole plate for the body of the chick. For kids with more advanced fine motor skills, try your hand at our part plate caterpillar craft.
  5. Glue on the parts of the chick on the plate and display!

Continue your chick exploration with our Chick Life Cycle Activity!

Meet the Teachers

Back when we were both teaching, we dreamed of a website that would make lesson planning easier. We both remember late nights scouring search engine for unit ideas. After searching 1000s of blogs and sites, nothing was exactly meeting our vision: creative resources for the overworked teacher or homeschooler! So…this was born.
