The holidays are almost here—time to bake up some sweet treats! Check out these delicious recipes our Magical Beginnings families make a tasty tradition in their home each holiday season!

Paint a Chick

Today let’s make adorable little chicks! We’re sure everyone has done their fair share of painting with brushes and hands, but what about forks?!

Supplies:

  • A plastic fork
  • Yellow paint
  • Googly eyes (or just draw on your own)
  • Orange construction paper
  • Scissors
  • Glue
  • Black pen

Directions:

  1. Dip the back of your fork into yellow paint and print onto a piece of paper or card. Keep adding more and more prints, moving round in a circle to start making your little chick.
  2. Keep printing with your fork until you have covered a complete circle. Overlap the fork prints to make your chick nice and fluffy.
  3. Cut a small triangle of orange construction paper and glue in in place for the beak. Then stick on some fun googly eyes. If you don’t have googly eyes you can draw eyes on using your black marker.
  4. Use your black marker to add on some little legs for your chick and to complete your painting.
