Before my twin girls started kindergarten last fall (sniff, sniff!), I loved nothing more than an excuse for a themed playdate. A craft and a snack to match? Sign me up!
With our busy schedules these days, we don’t get together with our twinkie BFFs nearly as much as we’d like to. I ran across this picture of a playdate from last March, and it just warmed my heart.
While I try not to be a hoarder, I still have these little chickies hanging around…they are just so stinkin’ cute!
We started with a white paper plate (I love the cheap-y kind for crafts). The kiddos colored their plates yellow, and then they glued googly eyes and a triangle beak on for the face.
For the wings, the kiddos traced their hands. Depending on their scissor-skill-level, some of them cut out their handprints, and the MoMs did the handprints for the others.
It was a challenge for our 4 1/2- and 5-year olds to accordion fold the legs, but they had fun trying. 
There are all sorts of variations you can do, depending on the skill of your crafters-in-training. If you’re brave enough to break out the paints, you could even do some handprint chicks on canvas. (There are a million cute inspirational ideas on Pinterest!) However you do it, I think it’s a great way to {finally!} welcome spring!
Happy Crafting!!!
