Chick Magic

We have been having so much fun with chick magic!  I saw an idea on a website called Excited 2 Learn that mentioned a blog showing how to make little chicks and have them lay magic eggs.  I showed Oliver and Adelaide how to make the eyes and beaks and then they got to work.  Adelaide had a LOT of fun with the eyes.  So, some of our chicks have about ten eyes. 

 Oliver went a little eye crazy too.

 Once our chicks were done, we put them in an egg carton.  I then explained to Oliver and Adelaide that these chicks might lay magic eggs so they needed to check the chicks every so often.  I caught Oliver checking the chicks many times throughout the day.

 Finally, they found two chicks that had laid their "eggs."

 As the day progressed, they discovered some more eggs.  I told them it was important that they did not eat the eggs and that they plant the eggs.  So, we got out our popcorn bowls, some grass and they both planted three of their eggs.

 When they woke up in the morning, they came downstairs to find that their three eggs had magically turned into three flower lollipops.

I think these chicks will continue to lay some eggs throughout the week.  It turned into a really fun time with Oliver and Adelaide.  They did have a brief discussion with each other about where these eggs could be coming from but then they decided it was just "magic." :)
