Craft: Chickens in a Nest
This week's craft is based on the above picture.  Kids colored three chicken cutouts.  They also colored a paper plate cut in half.  The chickens were glued to one half of the plate.  The other half of the plate was either glued or stapled to make it into a nest.

Extension Activities:
- Chicken Butt is a book of rhymes for body parts.  See if your child can come up with more rhymes for various body parts.
- Practice counting while reading the books.  Ask your child to count how many chickens are on each page of Chicken Story Time or Chickens to the Rescue.
