How To Make It

1. Print the template and cut out the pieces. Use the cutouts as patterns to cut out two felt body shapes and a pair of wings for each chick.

2. To create the chick’s legs, bend a 7-inch pipe cleaner length in half and twist the ends together a few times just below the bend.

3. For feet, twist a 2-inch pipe cleaner length around the bottom of each leg, as shown.

4. Cut out a small triangular beak from the orange felt and glue it to the edge of one of the body pieces.

5. Glue the top of the legs to the bottom of the body.

6. Glue the second body piece on top of the first one, matching up all the edges. Attach a wing to each side of the body, applying glue along one edge of the felt, as shown.
