Begin by painting a paper plate yellow or buy yellow plates and use those. If you painted the plate let it dry completely.

Next, paint 4 clothespins brown or leave them natural.

Now, trace both handprints on orange cardstock and cut out.

Use markers to add fun feathery detail on one side of the hand prints if desired.

Then, glue the handprints to two of the clothespins.

Next, cut a triangle beak from the same orange cardstock and glue the beak in the middle of the plate.

Adhere googly eyes above the nose where the chick's eyes would be.

Finally, clip on the clothespins with the handprints for wings. And clip on the remaining two clothespins on the bottom of the paper plate for legs.
