Even if you don't celebrate Easter, you can make this just because it's adorable~ For instructions on how to make and assemble the modules, refer to my how-to here: http://www.cutoutandkeep.net/projects/modular-origami-animals P.S. I am listing these projects as free because I use printer paper from worksheets that we get at school. Remember, if one side is blank, save it from the bin-- it's perfectly usable!

The two pieces of shell and the chick are made separately, and then glued together at the end. You will need 144 modules: 82 white 62 yellow
Make one half of the egg shell! Each shell half is made with 5 and a half (see the inside "broken" line) rows of 14 modules. You'll want to shape these too, because the pieces have a tendency to curve inward. I pushed one of those large hollow plastic eggs inside the cavity to shape.
Make the chick! The chick is made of 6 rows of 10, plus the two wings.
Put them all together! I would recommend gluing the pieces of the chick and the top egg shell together, as I had a few problems getting them to stay while I glued the entire piece. Alternately, you could leave the three pieces independent of each other.
Make the face! The eyes where made from a hole punch, and the beak from paper folded in half and then cut freehand.
