Flannel Friday: Where's my egg?

This week I did an Egg theme in story time to coincide with Easter although the theme was not Easter-y at all.  All of our books were about eggs and we talked about what different animals might hatch from an egg.

The flannel story I did was more of a seek-and-find where we were looking under eggs to find a baby chick.  We have a puppet that is a baby chick that curls up into an egg (or pops out of the egg).  I told the kids that the chick was looking for his sister and we proceeded to look under the eggs to see what we could find.

You could have the kids guess, but I just pulled off eggs knowing where the chick was and saving that egg for last.  The kids would just yell out what they saw under the egg.

I did put some Easter-ish things under the eggs, like the jellybeans and chocolate bunny.  By far the favorite item was the Angry Bird.  I found clip art to help make him, the chocolate bunny, and the ostrich.  The rest were free-handed.
