- carefully rinse the shell;
- paint with “Easter” food coloring as written in the instructions and leave to dry;
- glue on beady eyes, as well as a beak, tail, wings and legs cut out of paper;
- “hide” the hole under the “comb” or stick a bow on it.
From eggshells You can also make a chicken using plasticine, as described above.

It's no secret that all children love Kinder surprises. Delicious chocolate on the outside and a surprise toy inside – how little does a child need to be happy! What if you try to switch places between the toy and the chocolate? Will it be as fun, tasty and interesting?
Today I will show you how to make interesting craft for Easter. At the same time, we’ll check whether a bright yellow chicken made from an eggshell with a chocolate egg inside can compete with a traditional Kinder surprise.
Tools and materials for making the Easter chick:
- raw egg with white shell
- yellow acrylic paint
- brush
- scissors
- cardboard
- felt (white, black, red, brown, yellow)
- white floss threads
- glue "Moment Crystal"
- thin black marker
- dark chocolate bar
- syringe
- vinegar
First of all, I get rid of the contents of the eggshell. To do this, use a needle to make a small hole from the sharp end of the egg,
from the blunt end there is a larger hole.
I pierce the yolk with a needle and blow out the contents of the egg. I rinse the empty eggshells thoroughly with running water.
To further disinfect the shell, I place it in a solution of 500 ml of water and 100 ml of vinegar. I bring the solution to a boil. I boil the eggshells for 15 minutes. Then I take it out of the water and dry it thoroughly.
If I remember correctly, chickens are usually yellow in color. Except, of course, for those that were painted for Easter instead of eggs.
Cuties. But I still prefer traditional yellow chickens.
Turning eggshells from white to lemon yellow couldn't be easier. To do this, you need to color the egg with turmeric. I even showed myself how this can be done.
So this time I wanted to paint the shell using a proven method. However, this was not the case: it turned out that the once extensive household reserves of turmeric had dried up.
In order not to delay production Easter crafts Because of this little thing, I paint the shell with yellow acrylic paint.
In my opinion, it turns out well.
Now the colored shell can be filled with chocolate.
I break a bar of dark chocolate into pieces. I melt the chocolate in a water bath.
Since I don’t have a pastry syringe, I arm myself with a sterile 20 ml syringe and fill the prepared shell with melted chocolate. Periodically, I gently shake the shell so that there are no air bubbles left inside.
To my surprise, the creation chocolate egg I use my own hands to make almost the entire chocolate bar. There remains just a little bit of melted chocolate mass on the bottom of the pan. And my daughter and I decorate with leftover chocolate easter bunny, an Easter cockerel, an Easter squirrel, and, in my opinion, even an Easter elephant.
All. The chocolate has run out.
While the chocolate is setting, I have time to prepare the felt pieces for my Easter eggshell craft.
This is an Easter eggshell chick pattern. You can download and print it:
1 – scallop detail 1 pc.
2 – part of the white of the eye 2 pcs.
3 – detail of the pupil of the eye 2 pcs.
4 – wing part 2 pcs.
5 – beak detail 1 pc.
6 – part of the stand in the shape of an egg 1 pc.
First I cut out all the parts from cardboard.
Remember, when we sewed an Easter egg from felt, I encouraged you to carefully save even the smallest felt scraps. And now the time has come to use them. I cut out the Easter chick pieces from scrap felt.
I glue the details of the pupils of the eyes to the details of the whites. I secure the parts with a French knot stitch made with white floss thread in 4 folds.
If you have extra Kinder Surprise packaging, you can easily turn them into cute chicks using several colors of play dough. So from yellow we will create wings, from black - legs, from red - a beak and comb, and from white - eyes.
We use it for beauty green paper, which will become foliage under ready-made crafts for Easter.
Necessary materials:
- two plastic packaging from Kinder Surprise or similar boxes;
- plasticine red, white, yellow and black;
- scissors;
- corrugated or colored paper green tone.
Stages of making Easter chicks:
From yellow plasticine we fashion four identical shapes of wings, which in outline are similar to drops. 
Using scissors or a plastic stack, create feather lines. 
Apply two yellow wings to one plastic packaging from under Kinder Surprise. 
Then take red plasticine. We begin to sculpt a comb from it. It will be voluminous, so it is made from several simple shapes in the form of circles. The first figure will be the largest. 
Then to each red figure we will add several more, but smaller ones. Now the comb on the top of the chickens head is ready. 
You will also need red plasticine to make a beak. It's very easy to do! To do this, roll out a small ball into a tube. Both ends must be sharp. Bend it in half and attach the finished beak to the center of the plastic base for the craft. We will also make a beak for the second chicken. 
Then we use white plasticine, from which we create two pairs of cakes. These will be the eyes. But they also need pupils. To do this, we take a tiny amount of black material into work. We attach the finished eyes to the plastic base above the beak. 
We sculpt from black plasticine long enough thin paws and their claws, which are sharp and short. In total, you need to fashion four identical blanks. 
We place the paws under the lower part of the chickens' body. 
We create an imitation of grass from corrugated paper. To do this, cut it into long strips, which are then cut into pieces. We stretch the paper a little to create volume.
