Baby Chick Handprint and Footprint Crafts
Baby chicks are so stinkin' cute! My son had an amazing teacher in first grade where they went through the whole process of hatching baby chicks. They were fascinated by it and he still talks about it to this day (he's 10 now!). Spring is a popular time to talk with kids about baby animals and these baby chick crafts are perfect for it. Check out this awesome chicken life cycle craft.

Cute Handprint Easter Bunny Crafts
Bunnies can be made so many different ways, whether it's with thumbprints, the whole hand minus the thumb, with the thumb, using prints from feet and so on. I love the flower centerpiece idea. It's looks so pretty on table or displayed elsewhere in the home.

The following lamb and sheep crafts are made with a variety of art supplies. Some are painted and stamped, while others are cut from paper or curling ribbon or have cotton balls glued on. In the past, I have even seen some made with popcorn instead of cotton balls.
