4. Knead the dough all together again in a wet kitchen towel for about ten minutes. Add yellow food dye while kneading to make yellow dough..
5. Put a little bit of dough aside to make the chick beaks later, and then use the rest of the dough to make round chick heads. Roll the dough when it's still a little warm to the touch..
6. Add red food coloring to the dough you're going to use for the beaks to make it orange..
7. Take the orange dough and stick to the yellow chick heads to make beaks, and then add sesame seeds for the eyes. It's easy to add the seeds using a toothpick..
8. They're all done. Now you've got a row of little chicks!.
