Dressing
Now that you know how to make a chicken from Kinder Eggs, or rather its basis, you can proceed to decorate the crafts. First of all, you need to tie the edges of the "shell". To do this, again, you need a crochet hook and the remains of white yarn.
The procedure is as follows:
- white yarn is fixed on the edge of the "shell" with a strong knot;
- make 4 air loops;
- fasten on the edge of the "shell", slightly departing from the nodule;
- repeat the same steps to the end of the row;
- paws are made of thick orange yarn;
- stick black beads or beads instead of peepholes;
- stick a red beak;
- if the chicken is a “girl”, then you can stick a bow from a red ribbon on his head.
Second way
Want to learn how to make a chicken out of an egg with your own hands along with a preschool? Then you will need:
- plasticine of yellow, red, black and white;
- Kinder Surprise Capsule;
- knife for working with plasticine;
- silicone cutting board.
Operating procedure
To make such a chicken is very simple. An empty capsule from the Kinder Surprise is used as the body.
It remains:

- fasten on the capsule;
- fashion 3 round "cakes" with a diameter of 1 cm;
- split them with a knife in half;
- fasten on the capsule;
- fashion 2 flat oval details from yellow plasticine;

How to Make Egg Chicken for Easter Using Corrugated Paper
For such an original craft you will need:
- one empty capsule from Kinder Surprise;
- satin ribbon;

- have a capsule inside;
- straighten corrugated paper to make an egg;
- the tail of the corrugation is twisted;
- fasten with a thin wire;
- twist the corrugated paper on both sides to form chicken wings;
- close the tail with a thin strip of red paper, which will act as a bow;
- paste wings on the body of the chicken;
- stick paws, beak, eyes and jewelry.
Third way
When asked how to make a chicken out of an egg, they do not always mean a capsule from Kinder Surprise. If we are talking about Easter, then traditional materials for crafts are more suitable. For example, an empty egg, or rather its shell.
You can make such a souvenir in various ways. However, first of all it follows:
- rinse the egg thoroughly with water using antiseptic agents;
- make a small hole at the sharp end of the shell;
- to draw air into a large-capacity medical syringe and blow it inside the egg, as a result of this, the contents should begin to slowly pour out;
- gently rinse the shell;
- paint with “Easter” food coloring as described in the instructions and leave to dry;
- stick on the bead eyes, as well as the beak, tail, wings and legs cut out of paper;
- “Hide” the hole under the “comb” or stick a bow on it.
Eggs can also be made from chicken using plasticine, as described above.
Where can i use
Now that you know how to make a chicken out of an egg, it's time to come up with the use of such a souvenir. If this is a toy from a plastic capsule, then you can put candy in it or pour candy or candied fruit and give it to the child as a surprise. In addition, chickens from eggs are suitable as decoration for the Easter table. They can be laid on plates in front of each participant in the festive meal. You can also decorate a dish with colored eggs with such toys, having arranged in the middle a nest of garden greens.
Now you know how to make a chicken out of an egg. This craft will be a wonderful gift for your grandmother, aunt or beloved teacher. Your child will surely enjoy the process of working on such a simple souvenir, and he may have a craving for creativity.
