The chick hatches from its egg

To create a chick that comes out of its egg, you will need:

- sturdy A4 format 220 g/m² cardstock (coordinating colors)

- a wooden strip measuring 15.5 x 1.8 cm

- round stickers

- a stick of white glue

- a pair of scissors

- a pencil

- markers

- a template for the egg and the chick (to print - see "Technical Sheet" below the main photo)

Choose a strong A4 size cardstock in your preferred color and then fold it in half.

Download / Print the egg and chick template.

To do this, click on "Technical sheet" below the main photo, at the top of the page.

Using the template, trace the outline of the egg onto a piece of sturdy light-colored paper and then cut out the egg with a pair of scissors.

Using a pencil, draw the "cracks" on the egg.

The egg will be cut in two at this point.

Cut out the egg following the outline made in the previous step.

Using the template, trace the outline of the chick on a sturdy yellow card, then cut out the shape with a pair of scissors.

Here are the items you need to obtain at this step.

Using a white glue stick, attach the upper part of the eggshell to the top of the yellow shape.

Glue the wooden tab to the back of the yellow shape (the end of the tab should be positioned at the midpoint of the yellow shape).

Make a cut approximately 2 cm wide, located about 2.5 cm from the bottom of the blue card (centered widthwise).

Slide the wooden tab into the slot.

The tab should protrude from the inside of the card.

Apply glue around the lower edge of the eggshell (only on the dotted area - see photo to the side).

It is important not to spread the glue more than 3 mm in width. To achieve this, we recommend tilting the glue stick at a 45° angle to apply the glue in a thin and precise manner.

The central part of the shell should not be glued so that the chick can easily enter and exit the egg later on.

Glue the bottom part of the egg about 1.5 cm from the bottom of the blue card.

Cut out the eyes and beak of the chick from a sturdy card and glue them onto the yellow shape.

Decorate the egg with markers or stickers.

You can also decorate the inside of the card with a lovely drawing or Easter collage!
