Cheep cheep!
To make these cute Easter chicks all you need is some yellow poster paint, or stamp pad, an orange pen and a black pen. Children love making thumbprints, anything they can get dirty and messy in! Even the youngest children will enjoy trying this with your help.
Pour a little yellow paint onto a pad of folded newspaper or a paper plate and gently dip the child's thumb into it. (The second print was usually the best!) When your thumbprints are dry, add details with a black and orange pen.
Older children may enjoy adding speech bubbles with "cheep cheep" or other chick-like noises inside!
Just another teaching gem. Ed Emberleyis amazing. He can create ANYTHING from a thumbprint, with simple lines and curves. Check out some of his other thumbprint creations.
Here is a link to a couple of his books. You can order them online, but I would always encourage you to order from Talewind Books. They are super friendly in there and the books usually arrive within a couple of days.
