Art: Easter and Mother’s Day gifts

Easter chick egg cosy

This simple sewing project will develop skills of pattern cutting and stitching. Any stitch can be used, but a whipping or blanket stitch work well. For a simpler activity, glue the beak, feet and wings in place and just stitch the main body. Alternatively, add a base and leave an opening in the back seam to fill with mini eggs.

You will need: yellow and orange felt; black fun foam; white pen; yellow cord; yellow cotton; needle and scissors.
