We have made Easter chicks of sticks and nest
With twigs / moss and eggshells we have sown cress in. Pin chickens got the kids male before they glued on feathers, eyes and beak.
We put them in a lump temperature curable clay so that they can stand on the table.
Redene is plywood that children have lime materials on. We have theme "stick" for years-and it wanted us to be reflected in the Easter decorations as well.
