Baby Chick Puppet – Easy Spring Craft for Kids

We made this easy baby chick puppet a couple days ago and my kiddos love it! It was so fun seeing them running around cheeping like baby chicks. 

Oh my goodness! Easter is in 2 days! What?! Am I the only one who doesn’t have a basket for her kids?

I did buy plastic eggs. But, I have no candy. Do you think I can get away with saying the Easter Bunny ate it all? Just kidding (kind of).

With 2 kiddos and one baby boy (literally ready to be delivered any day now), I get real last minute with holiday stuff. But, I try to make it extra special with doing crafts with my kids.

To get them excited about a holiday coming up, I usually read a few books to them and we do some crafts together.

A couple days ago, we made baby chick puppets. And it was so fun to see my kiddos run around with them, wiggling them to make their eyes move and cheeping for sound affects. To me, that’s a win! So, I am sharing this last minute Easter craft idea with you today.

It’s so simple and so fun!
