Steps:

Press large end of egg against hard surface to flatten slightly so egg will stand on end. Use flat brush and Yellow to paint egg shape; let dry.
Trace and cut pattern shapes from orange craft foam.
Refer to photo for placement and use round brush and Pink Glitter to paint cheeks.
Use Black to paint dots for eyes; let dry.
Use Yellow to paint "Happy" on can hug. Use Orange to paint "Easter". Let both dry.
Refer to photo for placement and glue feet to bottom of egg, wings on sides, and triangle beak on face of chick.
Glue bottom of chick feet to top of can hug rim, with chick centered and balanced on rim.

Helpful Tip:

When painting foam egg, place toothpick in bottom and secure into another foam surface to dry. (We turned foam plate over with rim on surface and stuck toothpick as anchor into center of plate.)
