Lost In Pizzaland: There Was An Old Lady Who Swallowed A Chick Week: Tuesday!

There Was An Old Lady Who Swallowed A Chick Week

Tuesday!

Crafts:

Chick Mask: Paper plate half, orange construction paper, two 12" lengths of yellow yarn, yellow paint, several small feathers, scissors, hole puncher, glue, paintbrush

Paint the paper plate half yellow. Let the paint dry.
To make the mask, cut the rim off the plate to make the 3 bumps on the head.
Cut out two eyeholes above the straight edge of the mask.
Cut out an orange triangle beak. Glue the beak and feathers to the mask. When the glue is dry, fold the beak up so that it points forward.
Punch a hole on each of the mask, just slightly above the right and left eye.
Tie a length of yarn to each hole.

Plastic Eggshell Chick: Plastic egg, yellow paint, cotton balls, plastic bag, construction paper, scissors, glue, index card

Place some yellow paint in a plastic bag. Drop two cotton balls inside the bag. Shake well. Remove the two yellow-colored cotton balls.
Glue the two cotton balls together to form the body and head of a chick. Glue the chick inside an empty half of a plastic eggshell, so the chick is just peeking over the eggshell.
Cut a tiny beak and eyes from paper, and carefully glue them to the head of the chick. If the eggshell half does not set up easily, glue it to an index card or a small piece of paper.

Crayon-Resist Egg: 9 x 12 inch sheet of manilla paper, crayons, light colored paint

From a 9 x 12 inch sheet of manilla paper, cut out a large egg shape.
Color designs on the egg with crayons, being sure to press very hard!
Then paint the egg with a light color of thinned tempera paint.

Activities:

Egg-on-a-Spoon Relay: Plastic spoons, plastic eggs, 4 buckets

Divide into two or three teams.
Place an empty bucket at the finish line.
Place a full bucket of plastic eggs for each team at the start line.
Each team get a spoon.
On your "Go" the first players run to the finish line with an egg on their spoon to put it into the bucket. If a player drops their egg, they pick it up and must start over again at the start line. Then they must run back and give their spoon to the next player.
The first team to get rid all the eggs from their start bucket wins!

Underwater "Eggspert": Fresh egg, deep cereal bowl, hot tap water, yellow food coloring

Carefully place the egg in the bottom of the bowl and fill the bowl with hot tap water. Quickly add a little yellow food coloring. Watch the egg closely for several minutes.
Streams of tiny bubbles rise to the top of the water from the submerged egg.
When the air inside the egg is heated by the hot water, the air molecules expand. Many of the new crowded air molecules push their way out of the egg through some of the almost 7,000 openings, or pores, in the egg's shell. These heated air molecules exit the egg, usually without cracking the shell, and rise to the water's surface as bubbles.
