Crafts for Easter: an egg chicken

Crafts made from eggs became the main ones in the children's preparation for Easter. A chicken comes out of the egg. The work is simple, interesting and, most importantly, quickly. The child does not get bored while doing this work.

Materials

In order to make a chicken from an egg you will need:

1. Egg. It must be moist. This will be the basis for future crafts.
2. Cardboard trays for eggs. Of these, shells will be made and stencils for coloring the craft. They usually sell eggs. Plastic packaging will not work.
3. Gouache or acrylic paints. Watercolor has a watery texture and poorly covers the surface, and oil paints are heavily smeared and dry for a long time.
4. A few thin brushes and one thick. Small brushes are more convenient to draw small details, and large cover the entire surface of the egg.
5. Scissors. For children, scissors with rounded ends will be safer.
6. Silo or thick needle. This is necessary for punching small holes in the egg.
7. Plasticine. They perform voluminous small details of the craft.
8. Clay "Moment". It is desirable that the glue has a transparent structure, otherwise it will be visible in the craft.
9. Thick cardboard. It will become a stand, so that the chicken does not roll out of the egg.
10. Transparent nail polish. It is necessary to fix all parts of the craft and preserve their beautiful appearance.

Work for parents

Before you offer the child to perform the article "Chicken from the egg," an adult needs to prepare some details. The child alone can not do it.

First, you need to prepare an Easter egg, the chicken will be made from it. To do this, you need to make two holes in the raw chicken egg, top and bottom. In the hole in the wide part of the egg, it is hard to blow so that the contents pour out through the second hole. Then the egg should be washed and dried.

Secondly, it is necessary to cut out from the cardboard tray several egg supports, on which it will be convenient for the child to paint it. One of the obtained supports becomes an egg shell, in which the chicken will sit.

Start of execution

Before you make a chicken from an egg, you need to prepare a working place for the child. It is advisable to lay a table with an oilcloth or a newspaper, and put the baby in an apron or something that is not a shame to stain.

Now you need to offer the child to paint the egg completely in yellow. And put it aside until the paint dries completely. When painting, it is convenient to use previously prepared stands.

Then white paint should cover the cardboard "shell" and also leave it to dry.

While the chicken is drying out of the egg, the child should be allowed to run and rest.

Small parts

After the base of the craft is ready, small parts must be molded from plasticine. You need to start with the largest and gradually move on to smaller ones. So children's hands are better used to small work.

First you need to fashion two wings out of the yellow plasticine. To do this, you can roll a short "sausage" and flatten it, while shaping the wings.

Then you can sculpt the beak. From red plasticine, two small flagella must be rolled. Then connect them from one end. Loose ends make a flat and triangular shape.

The scallop is also made of red plasticine. For this, the medium flagellum slides, then it flattenes. One edge will need to give a wavy form.

The next step is the execution of the peephole. To do this, roll two small balls of white plasticine and two smaller balls of black plasticine. Then they flattened. In the middle of a white "cake" is glued black.

Crafting

It's very easy to make a chicken out of an egg. If the child is able to handle the glue neatly, then with this occupation he will cope completely independently.

First, the colored egg needs to be glued to the "shell". Then all this is attached to the cardboard stand. The egg is glued to the "shell" by the wide part.

After that, eyes are glued to the finished chicken, a beak, wings and a scallop. Despite the fact that the clay itself clings well, it is better to plant it on the "Moment" for greater strength of the structure. On the narrow part of the egg, it is necessary to glue the comb vertically vertically. It can be played playfully on one side. Below, on the side part are glued eyes and beak, and the white parts of the eyes must touch each other and with the beak. On the sides glued wings. Do not try to make them open, clay plastic will eventually become less elastic and the wings themselves will descend.

Once the craft is ready, it can be covered with a colorless nail polish. It will be easier to do this with a large soft brush with natural pile. On such a brush is better to recruit more varnish and accurately distribute it throughout the craft. Then let the chicken dry, and wash the brush in the liquid to remove the varnish. The handicraft is ready! It remains to find the most beautiful place for her or to think of someone to give her.
