Description
A farm to table unit made for toddlers: a friendly hen, her chick and lots of eggs for little hands to color, dot, trace, snip, crumple and squish.
Children make big, simple egg crafts, count eggs in a carton and help the chick find mom, while you follow a short teacher guide and a suggested week.
Most pages are print and go. A grown up cuts the cards and the puzzle, and you can laminate the mats and cards (for reusable durability). Easy prep, saves you time.

WHY TEACHERS LOVE IT
Every page has one big picture and one simple action, so twos and threes can work with very little help.
The same farm words (hen, chick, egg, nest) come back on many pages, so children hear and say them again and again.
Black and white pages come first to save ink, and the color mats, puzzle and cards can be laminated and used again.
