Happy Easter!

Happy Easter!
Since it's Easter time, I am guessing you have a lot of eggs around your house!  I have some eggs around here, too... but some of mine are alive and growing!  By the end of this week we should have baby ducklings!


These lessons will be all about eggs and birds, to celebrate!

First, listen to this book, Rosie's Walk.  Then answer the quiz!

Rosie's Walk



Now it's time to read on your own!  See if you can read what happens as a chick hatches out and grows up. 





There are SO many EGGsperiments you can do with eggs!  This video is a great compilation of eggsperiments and tips and tricks you can do with eggs!

Click here to watch the video!  Then pick one or two to try at home!


Now it's time for some chicky art!  

Follow this video to learn how to draw a cute little chick hatching out of an egg!


Are you ready for the really fun messy gooey art?  This is super fun, and turns out really cool looking, I promise!  All you need is: 
  • shaving cream
  • A large flat pan
  • food coloring or paint
  • a straight edge to scrape off the shaving cream
  • paper cut out in the shape of an egg.   

Now you are ready to make your own swirly Easter egg! 




You can also do this with real hard boiled eggs!

This is one of my favorite stories about ducklings.  



Ready for some cute ducky videos?




Did you know that a duckling thinks whatever it sees first when it hatches is its mom?  What happens when the duckling sees a cat first? Click here to find out! 


I hope you enjoyed our week of eggs, chicks, and ducklings!  I'll be doing live zooms when OUR baby ducks are hatching... so stay tuned!  But until then, you might be surprised by what a duckling looks like as it is hatching.  Watch this video of a duckling hatching!
