Step 1
Carefully squeeze the toilet roll tube and make a snip with the scissors to create a triangle. This will be the beak.
Step 2
Cut 2 slits up from the bottom and fold upwards, repeat to create 2 feet. Cut the excess around the bottom of the tube.
Step 3
Fold the top of the tube down - so that the it closes the top (better for hiding things inside).
Step 4
Decorate with paint or crayons.
Step 5
Hide some sweets or chocolates inside, and place your chick in a good spot to be found on a treasure hunt!
