Instructions:
1. Braid the three chenille stems together.
2. Cut a 15 cm or 6 inch piece of the stem off. Curl both stems in a snail shape.
3. Holding the small snail shaped curl together, glue it to the top of the craft stick. This will be the head.
4. Now hold the larger snail shape together and glue it below the head.
5. Cut a small triangle and glue it on the chick as a beak.
6. Parents help with this step: place one black bead on the table with the hole facing up. Use the craft knife and press down on the hole causing the bead to divide in half. Glue both halves on the face as eyes.
7. Glue two feathers to the back of the stick, so that the ends can be seen above the head.
8. Glue a feather to each side of the chick as a wing. You may have to shorten the feathers if they are too long.
