My new book, The Secret Chicken Society is now available from your favorite bookstore. Here's a brief description: When Daniel finds out that his class is going to hatch chicks as a science project, he is thrilled. He's sure that his parents will let him adopt Peepers, who is his favorite. But who ever guessed that chicks could run amok and get into so much trouble? This warmheated chapter book about an environmentally-conscious family's experiment with poultry farming will provided plenty of clucks and lots of chuckles for young readers. I've always loved the little bitty chenille chicks that you find at Easter, and here's a way to make your own. It's a fun and easy art project for kids to go with the book. 1. Use two yellow pom poms from the craft store. Glue them together. I used Alene's Tacky Glue. It's nice and thick and doesn't take long to dry. 2. Glue to a paper base. I punched a flower shape out of orange paper and then cut off two of the petals leaving two in front for feet and one in the back to help stabilize the chicks. 3. Cut a beak from a piece of orange construction paper. Glue to the top yellow pom pom. 4. Glue on two wiggly eyes, also from the craft store. You can use tiny black beads or pom poms instead. 5. Add a feather tail, or wings if you'd like. 6. Done! I told you it was easy!
