My preschooler and I are having fun learning about birds this week.
We started by reading some books about birds and we made this Life Cycle of a Chicken craft.
I saw the idea in The Mailbox Magazine a while back and I just love how it turned out.

Then we made a little nest by putting glue all over and adding shredded pieces of brown paper.
If pre-schoolers are able to cut themselves, do the cutting for them.
When they are all grown they begin to hatch out of the egg.
I cut a larger egg out of paper and my son glued it to the poster board.
Then he drew a jagged edge circle on the egg to represent the egg hatching.
My son colored the inside yellow and he added googly eyes to represent the chick inside.

Next, we made the grown chicken.
I added the outline of the wing with black marker.
It was such a fun project!
