Read Aloud: 
“This Little Chick”

This little chick is black. 

She stands in the barnyard on a big haystack.
This little chick is brown.

She is feeling sad and wearing a frown.
This little chick is yellow.

She's friends with the rooster; he's a handsome fellow.
This little chick is white.

She dances and plays, oh what a sight.
This little chick is purple.

She spends her day running around in a circle.
This little chick is green.

She is the prettiest chick I've ever seen.
This little chick is blue.

She lays eggs for me and you.
This little chick is pink.

She goes down to the pond to get a drink.
All of these chicks live at the farm,
Out in the big red barn.

Materials Needed

Traced hands and an oval shape

Cutout materials

Proud to have put together his "chick!"

Churp! Churp!

Descriptive Words, this is how I displayed it on his "Art Wall."


*Stallone Tested and Approved:  "It's a chick Momma, it's a chick!" Stallone yelled! He loved making his Easter Chick, and any activity where we are tracing his hands, he LOVES! The descriptive words were a lot of fun too, he didn't grasp the meaning of "descriptive words," but once I put it in simpler form he was quick to say, "Yellow, orange" and so on. Great activity!! We are sad to see our Easter Themed month come to an end. Hope you all enjoyed it!
