Chicks and Carrots Tic-Tac-Toe Free Easter Printables
This darling chicks and carrots tic-tac-toe game is really fun to make and then to play. It is so cute that it also serves as a little Easter and springtime decor for a tabletop. Using Sculpey III clay is great for beginners and experts, works well for children and creates magnificent results.
I made the ten game pieces for chicks and carrots tic-tac-toe in about twenty minutes so it is a fun project to do even when time is scarce. This post is sponsored by Sculpey but the ideas and opinions are my own. The artwork in the printable is mine too. I love FREE Easter Printables!
Materials and Supplies Needed
To get started, you will need the following supplies.
Sculpey III clay in the following colors; orange, yellow, black and green. Of course, any colors could be used really. Kids like to get creative and if they want to make purple chicks, get them purple clay.
Cookie Sheet
Oven to bake clay.
Directions
Roll five yellow balls with clay, no bigger than one inch in diameter.
Mold the yellow balls into chick bodies with your fingers.
Add yellow wings to the balls and orange beaks. (Add black eyes too.)
Roll five small orange balls and smash them flat. Cut them into the center and pull apart a little to make feet. Place a yellow chick on each set of feet and push the pieces together gently.
Ta Da.
Make five carrot pieces for the game too.
Free Easter Printables
Print out the game board. I mounted it on card stock (Orange Check by Adorn-It – designed by ME)! You can get the game board FREE and print as many copies as you would like. There are game pieces too.
You can buy Sculpey clay at your local craft store or online. If you have never tried it; give it a whirl. I would love to know what you think about working with it. I find it relaxing and fun.
Other Clay Ideas
If you saw this post a while back, these little clay pieces would work great too for kiddos and Girl Scouts all year round.

Best Ways to Use Free Printables
You might have seen this list from me before but I think it is worth sharing over and over. Sometimes the people in the back need to hear things a few times, right? There are so many great ways to use free printables. Here are some of my favorites.
- Print them and mail in an envelope with a stamp. Snail mail rocks.
- Batch some up to make an activity book. This is great for a road trip! It is also great to add free Easter printables in the Easter basket.
- Print and use at a place setting on the table to create a conversation starter.
- Add them to goody bags. By the way, goody bags are not just for birthday parties.
- Package them up with your favorite markers and crayons to give as a gift.
- Drop a few off at the local coffee shop with fun pencils to spread some happy.
- Cut them up to make cards, gift wrap and decorations.
BEST Tools For Working With Free Printables
These are my favorite tools and art supplies to use with free printables and why I love them too.
- Printer – This Laser Printer is inexpensive and works like a charm. It even works with Alexa. Bonus!
- Scissors – Lots of printables can be cut up to create decorations and cards and things like that.
- Markers and Crayons – All thing ooly work the best for me. I LOVE all of their markers, pencils and crayons.
- Colored Pencils – For adult coloring, PRISM makes the colored pencils that I love to use most.
- Twine – For creating banners and garlands from printables, I love this twine best.
- Adhesive – Lots of printables have pieces that get cut out and put together. This is my fave tape runner!
