Supplies Choose Terrific Trimmers® for the small chicks and a border and trimmer for the medium and large chicks.

If you’re feeling creative, go ahead and design your own beak, feet, and wing shapes. To make it easier, refer to the download tab to the right. The download includes templates for small, medium, and large chicks. The template size for the small chicks makes 4 chicks per 39-inch trimmer strip! Decide what size and color chick you’ll make. Follow the template to measure and cut out individual pieces for the chick size you're creating. Assemble the Body & Wings Roll the smaller strip (for the head) into a circle, overlap the ends slightly, and tape on the inside to hold. Repeat with the body strip. Place the head on top of the body and tape or glue them stacked together. Glue the feet onto the bottom of the body. Glue or tape the wings you cut out using the marked area on the template as a guide. For extra feathery fun, glue or tape feathers in place of the paper cut-out wings! Create a face! Glue your cut out beak to the center of the face and add googly eyes above it. Pull feathers from the shaft to make a small tuft of hair and glue on top of the chick’s head. Have fun decorating shelves and tables with your Easter chicks. The sturdy paper holds up to light play so kids can use them as puppets to tell stories and role-play too. Create DIY Hoppy Bunnies and act out a spring or Easter play! ©TREND enterprises, Inc. 152 Download Download template here! Show more
