Make an egg-hiding hen!
Share
This is such a fun idea – make a little card hen to hide mini chocolate eggs under! It’ll keep the kids busy while the Easter bunny hides treats!
This is a super cute, easy craft to complete. You can either print it on coloured card (like we have), or you can colour it in – it’s up to you! It’s definitely easier to make if it’s printed on card, rather than paper.
It could be a fun way to get kids into joining the egg-hiding fun – these would be perfect left on a teacher’s desk with some little treats hidden underneath!
You will need:
- Egg-Hiding Hen free printable, printed on card
- Scissors
- Double-sided tape, or glue
- Felt pens (optional)
- Feathers
- Googly eyes
Instructions:
- Print the sheet onto card. You’ll need to select ‘actual size’ in the print settings, to be sure that it will print at the correct size.
- Colour in the hen’s body, comb, and beak.
- Cut out the hen’s body, comb, and beak. Cut along the dotted line on the hen’s body as well.
- Put either a line of glue, or a piece of double-sided tape along the line you have just cut.
- Fold the circle into a cone, as shown below.
- As you tape the cone closed, slip the comb in at the top.
- Bend the beak in half along the line, and then stick it to the front of the hen.
- Attach the googly eyes, and then stick two feathers on for wings.
SO CUTE! Hide mini chocolate eggs underneath for a sweet surprise!
