Hey Chickie!



Get your children clucking up a storm with this adorable spring craft!


This project was incredibly easy to create and fun to teach!

I started with recycled tp rolls. After each child colored the body of the chick, I applied it to the roll and cut it down to size.



Next the children were asked where they thought the body parts of the chicks would go. If they were unsure, we used ourselves as examples and placed the pieces in the appropriate spots.



As we glued, I asked questions such as

"What does chick start with?"

"What color is your chicks body?"

"What color are his/her feet?"

And of course, "What sound does a chick make?"































The children spent the remainder of the afternoon, walking around the house clucking with their baby chicks.
