The hen is waiting patiently for all of her chicks to hatch! With parental or adult assistance, this is an easy and fun project for school aged children. It only requires basic cutting and gluing skills.
Tip: You may wish to decorate both sides of the figure if you wish to hang it into a window or freely in a room. You will then be required to double the amount of all the pieces.

Instructions:
1. Print out the pattern and create templates for the pieces. The instructions are here: How to Make Patterns.
2. Trace the patterns onto the appropriate colored cardstock and cut all of the pieces out. You will need to trace an additional oval shape onto yellow cardstock for the chick.
3. Glue the comb onto the head. Glue the beak and the gill onto the face. Draw 2 straight lines for eyes over the beak.
4. Cut out a very small triangle out of red cardstock and glue it to the chick’s face. Dot 2 eyes over the beak.
5. Cut one of the eggs in half using either zig-zag scissors or by cutting a zig-zag through the middle of one egg. Glue the chick behind the egg half.
6. Glue the wings and feet onto the hen.
7. Glue the hen’s body in the center of the grass piece. Glue 2 eggs on one side of the hen and glue the chick and egg half on the other side.
8. Poke a hole through the top and insert a wire for hanging up.
Glue the hen to a corrugated cardboard ring to create an Easter egg holder.
