toddler monday april 5 2010 spring chick this is really a classic activity that my husband even remembers doing in school age range the bulk of this activity is cutting so your child will need to be able to cut well enough to do this i would guess for most that will be somewhere between 3 5 4 5 with some possibly between 3 3 5 if your child is unable to cut you could let your child color the chick and even the egg make it an easter egg before you cut it out young toddlers would have fun playing with this once it was done skills taught this is a great activity for talking about baby chicks you can talk about how they grow and how they hatch it also provides fine motor skill development if your child cuts the chick out you could also turn this into a shape activity materials white paper cardstock works best yellow paper orange paper crayons scissors brads two glue preparation draw the egg shape on the white paper draw a zigzag for the crack down the center of the egg draw the chick on the yellow paper draw a triangle on the orange paper activity if your child will be coloring the eggs and or chick have him do so have your child cut out the items or you do it if needed have your child cut the egg down the zigzag or you do it if needed have your child glue the nose in place have your child draw eyes on the chick punch one brad in each half of the egg put the egg together over the chick push the brads through the chick open out the brads to secure in place talk about chicks incubation and hatching posted by valerie plowman at 1 00 am 1 comments email this blogthis share to
