Materials Needed:
Before you start, gather the following materials:

Step 1: The Egg
Start by cutting out an egg shape from the white paper plate. Have your preschooler color the egg with markers or paint. Explain to them that this is the first stage of a chicken's life cycle.
Step 2: The Chick
Next, cut out a small yellow circle for the chick's head, and a small orange triangle for the beak. Then, cut out two small orange triangles for the feet. Have your preschooler glue these pieces onto the egg to create the chick. Explain to them that the chick hatches from the egg.
