Farm Animal Unit

This is best for Pre-k or Kindergarten. Also I would recommend doing this in a small group of no more than three kids.

Materials:

·         Large white paper

·         Orange paper

·         Easter basket green grass

·         Toilet paper roll

·         Sharpie

·         Markers

·         Yellow paint

·         Paper plate

·         Glue sticks

·         Scissors

 

First:

Take a large piece of white paper (picture below) and cut in into four pieces. Write the students name on the back of each white paper. 

Second:

Have them glue the bottom of the paper and take a small bunch of the grass and press it onto the glue.

Third:

Have them push one end of the toilet paper roll in the paint and put four yellow circles on their paper above the green grass. 

Fourth:

Fold the orange paper and cut four triangles out for each student. Make sure you cut on the fold so that the piece you cut makes a beak. Tell the students to glue only one side of the piece and put it on each chick to make the beak. 

Fifth:

Have the students pick a color marker and have them make two dots for the eyes and two lines for the legs on each of the four chicks.
