Steps

	1.	Find a paper bowl that is deep enough and sturdy enough to safely hold your Easter eggs or goodies. Draw zigzag lines along the bowl's rim.
	2.	Cut along the zigzag lines to come up with the chick's hatched egg shell.
	3.	Make your Easter chick either by: a.) Printing out this Easter chick template.
		b.) Drawing three basic parts: 2 triangles for the wings and a main body made up of a circle and a triangle. Drawing your own chick is actually better since you can tailor the chick's size to that of your bowl and you can use any kind of paper (e.g. craft foam or felt).
	4.	Cut out the pieces.
	5.	Create a face for your chick by: a.) Drawing with crayons;
		b.) Or by gluing on a pair of wiggles eyes and a pair of little orange triangles for the mouth.
	6.	Slightly curl the wing tips with a pencil.
	7.	Apply glue at the bottom edge of the chick's body.
	8.	Glue the chick inside the bowl.
	9.	Glue the wings on either side of the chick.
	10.	Cut a strip of craft foam and staple its ends onto the bowl to create a handle.
	11.	You can further decorate the handle with stickers, puffy paint, glitter glue, or by gluing on small craft foam shapes. Let the glue dry before using your Easter chick basket.
