We all love spring! The birds are chirping, the flowers are blooming and the days are getting warmer.

This easy spring card is great as a spring or Easter card for students to gift their families.

PREP BEFORE CLASS:

You need to cut your paper into smaller chunks.

Steps:

**See a how to video on Instagram

1. Cut a chick shape (head and body)

2. Cut an egg shape big enough to cover the base of your chick, then make diagonal cuts for the egg to crack open

3. Fold the card construction paper in half, then glue the chick and egg to the front

4. Using the extra white paper, cut two eyes and use the black marker for pupils

5. Use the orange paper to make a beak. Only glue one side so that it opens

6. Use your scissors to make cuts in the green strip for the grass. Be careful not to go all the way down. Fan it out a bit to create some texture.

7. Attach the feathers using a hot glue gun

8. Write your spring or Easter message inside

   *Optionally, some students wanted to decorate their egg. Use any coloured pencils or markers for this.
