This morning we made these cute chicks out of toilet paper tubes. Even my 2-year-old was able to create one with some help. (His is the one on the far right, pretty cute, huh?) Your kids can be super creative while making these spring chicks, mine decided that not all chicks are yellow, some even have polka-dots!

    oh my gosh, so cute! I am totally in love with all the colors… and the polka dots!

    I run Fun Family Crafts, a site similar in nature to Craftgawker and Spotlight, but different in that it’s a library of craft tutorials geared only at kids. I would love it if you’d stop by and submit this to be featured! (I link to you, I don’t post your tutorial on the site) Feel free to submit as many kid friendly craft tutorials as you like! http://funfamilycrafts.com/
