Burnham Bunch: Chicks

Here a chick. There a chick ...

Flannel board: There was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Chick

Craft: Chick in a nest

Need: Yellow and orange craft paper, sticker eyes, paper plate, brown paper (I used brown packing paper from an order I just received). Glue sticks.

• Prior to storytime, Susan cut out circles from the yellow paper (this is our chick) and orange triangles (beaks and feet). She also cut/shredded the brown packing paper (this will be our nest).
• At storytime, each craft seat was equipped with a paper plate, yellow circle, orange triangles, sticker eyes and glue stick.
• First I asked them to glue down their circle, then add their beak and feet, and lastly the eyes.
• We then got to making our "nest" by adding glue all around the edge of the paper plate and pressing in the paper shreds ( I laid these out last, when it was time to create the nest)
• And that is that. Easy breezy.
