DIY Wooden Easter Egg Chicks – An Adorable Spring Craft!

Spring is in the air, and Easter is just around the corner-which makes it the perfect time for a sweet and simple craft that's fun for both kids and adults! These Wooden Easter Egg Chicks are an adorable way to welcome the season, and they make the cutest little decorations for your home, Easter basket fillers, or handmade gifts.

As a kid, my favorite decorations for any holiday were always Easter decorations. We used to blow out fresh eggs each year to decorate and hang on our Easter Tree which my mom made from a lilac branch that would sprout buds as Easter Day came closer.

For a more sturdy take on cute Easter egg decorations, I now have this version made with plain wood Easter eggs from the craft store or, if you prefer you can opt for paper mache or even plastic eggs if you like.

Using just a few basic craft supplies, you can transform your eggs of choice into bright and cheery little chicks. With fluffy feather wings, tiny beaks, and hand-drawn eyes, each one has its own unique personality.

✨ How to Make Wooden Easter Egg Chicks

Step 1: Paint the Eggs
Paint each egg with your chosen acrylic paint color. You'll likely need 2-3 coats for full coverage. Let the paint dry completely between coats.

Step 2: Add Feathers
Cut small pieces of feathers and glue them to the sides of the egg to create wings. Add a little fluff to the top of the egg as well. Keep adding until you're happy with how full the wings look.

Step 3: Draw the Eyes
Use a pencil to lightly sketch the eyes onto the egg. Once you're happy with the shape and placement, trace over them with a black paint pen or permanent marker.

Step 4: Make the Beak
Cut a small diamond shape from orange or yellow cardstock. Fold it in half to make a triangle and glue it to the front of the egg to form the beak.
