It was too big a group for me to let the kids uncover the eggs, but I did call on kids to choose the color. We kept going until they were all uncovered. We looked for the yellow chick until we found it, and then I gave them other things to search for. Basically, everything we had a die for that would fit into the egg – a yellow chick, but also a brown duck, green frog, orange fish, and red parrot. Total madness, right? I made eight different colored eggs and, as Miss Mary suggested, I made several different animals that could could come out of eggs. This is actually the third flannel story (ok, this one’s a song) I’ve made in two weeks, and I hardly ever do flannels. Song: “ Little Chick” I have done this before as little mouse / what color house, but I saw this idea on Miss Mary Liberry and thought it would be fun. There was a lot of child chatter during this book, but it was interested child chatter as opposed to disengaged child chatter, so it was all good. It also teaches the names of the babies, which is fun who knew that a baby platypus is called a puggle? Does it get any cuter than that? It’s also a counting book, which at least one of my little guys found fascinating. This one is fun, because it covers a wide variety of things that come out of eggs – robins, fish, tadpoles, penguins, snakes, platypuses (platypi?), caterpillars, glow worms, turtles, and ostriches. Because I always start with a guessing book, if at all possible. Story: Eggs 1 2 3: Who Will the Babies Be? by Janet Halfmann.
