Make Your Own M&M’s Easter Chicks

These are one of the cutest Spring/Easter crafts I’ve seen. The little chicks are another of the sweet ideas sent to me by M&M’s, and I think the Easter bunny may be sneaking these into the kids’ baskets, too!

These would be very sweet as spring teacher gifts, classmate gifts, and church projects. All the material can easily be found at any craft store and the seasonal pastel M&M’s — in any flavor — can be found at your local grocery store or retailer.

Easter Chicks
Mini cellophane bags
Googly craft eyes
Felt fabric
Yellow pom poms
Webbed feet cut out from orange flannel
Yellow feathers
Orange beaks cut out of orange flannel
1 12.6-ounce bag of Milk Chocolate Easter M&M’S
Glue gun or liquid glue

Fill your cellophane bags with seasonal pastel M&M’S and tie the bag closed with a yellow fabric ribbon. Using a glue gun (or liquid glue), attach the webbed feet to the bottom of the bag. Then attach the eyes and beak to the pom poms to create the chick’s head. Let dry.

Attach the head and the feathers to the bag. Let the glue on the finished chicks dry for 24 hours.
