Easter Chick Paper Squishy Template in an Eggshell
The Easter chick paper squishy template is a yellow chick that peeks out of a cracked white eggshell and wears the top of the shell like a little hat, free to print. A tiny orange beak and pink cheeks finish its face. The zigzag crack is drawn on, so the outline stays smooth.
Quick answer
Print it at 100 % and colour the chick yellow. Cover both halves in tape, trim on the grey line and pair them up. Stuff the chick and the shell. A grown-up cuts round the hat, and it isn't for kids under three.

A chick hatching from its egg
The Easter chick is our hatching moment in paper. It's half chick, half eggshell.
The bottom half is a cracked white shell with a zigzag edge. The yellow chick pops out above it, with the top of the shell sitting on its head like a hat. That zigzag is printed inside the outline, so you never have to cut little points, and the shape stays smooth all round.
The hat sticks up a little.

How to make the Easter chick
- Print with scaling off and colour the chick yellow and the beak orange.
- Leave the shell white.
- Tape both halves and cut round the outer grey border.
- Join them back to back, with the bottom of the shell left open.
- Stuff the chick, then the shell, and close it.
The shell looks best a little rounder than the chick. Our paper squishy guide covers each step, and the round chick and the Easter egg are in the template collection.
