What you need

Paper and a large child-appropriate crayon.

Age: 3–5 years; choose for the individual child.

Let's make it happen

  1. Draw an egg, a newly hatched chick, and a grown bird in a row.
  2. Point to the pictures and tell how the chick hatches and grows.
  3. Imagine what a grown bird might do next, such as looking for food.

Stay beside your child; observe wild birds and nests from a distance.
