Starting in the middle of the egg, begin to wrap the wire-free chenille around it  until the egg is completely covered.\u00a0 Add more glue if need be.\u00a0 Allow to dry, then glue on two craft eyes.<\/li>\n<li>Cut a 2&#8243; piece of orange pipe cleaner for the beak, then fold it in half, pushing the ends into the egg under the eyes. You can  glue it, if you prefer.<\/li>\n<li>Cut four 3&#8243; pieces of pipe cleaner for three toes and a leg. The easiest way is to bend one piece around the second piece to make three toes and a leg. Trim to desired length.<\/li>\n<li>Make a second leg, then push the legs into the bottom of the chick.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong><em>Flower Pot Easter Basket<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This little flowerpot is <em>the<\/em> perfect container for Easter treats and an alternative approach to the traditional Easter basket.<\/p>\n<p><em>Materials<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Terra-cotta flowerpot<\/li>\n<li>Acrylic paint<\/li>\n<li>Puff Paint\u00a0 (optional)<\/li>\n<li>Construction paper<\/li>\n<li>Scissors<\/li>\n<li>Large lollipop<\/li>\n<li>Tape<\/li>\n<li>Pen<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>Instructions<\/em><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Paint the pot with acrylic paints in designs of your choice.

Then, wrap the lollipop stick with green paper to make a stem and \u201cplant\u201d it in the pot. You can tape it or nestle it in with the goodies.<\/li>\n<li>Fill with Easter grass and Easter treats.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong><em>Chick Greeting Card<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This is a festive Easter greeting card.<\/p>\n<p><em>Materials<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>White poster board<\/li>\n<li>Yellow construction paper<\/li>\n<li>Scissors<\/li>\n<li>Colored markers<\/li>\n<li>Glue<\/li>\n<li>Paper fastener<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>Instructions<\/em><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>First, make an eggshell by cutting a pair of matching ovals from white poster board.

Use the colored markers to draw on eyes and a beak.<\/li>\n<li>Center the chick on one of the white ovals and glue it in place.<\/li>\n<li>Cut off the upper third of the other oval with a zigzag line that looks like a crack. Glue the bottom piece onto the chick, matching up the edges with the back oval.<\/li>\n<li>Lay the top piece of the cracked shell over the chick&#8217;s head, and use the paper fastener to attach a lower corner to the rest of the egg, so that it works like a hinge.<\/li>\n<li>Next, add an Easter greeting to the front or the back of the egg.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Many people give gifts during Easter.
