Who knew there is an International Chicken Month? We at ‘You’re So Creative’ love these wacky and fun holidays.

We thought it might be a fun opportunity to teach your little one how to do the chicken dance. With a little bit of this and a little bit bit of that, and shake your bottom, dat, dat, dat dah!

This is a fun way to get all of the wiggles out before craft time, or get the whole family to enjoy this silly dance. We found this fun video on how to do the Chicken Dance: click HERE.

In this post we have a chicken and an egg, as well as a rooster. It’s a fun way to teach that male chickens are called roosters, female chickens are called hens, and babies are chicks.

Our first project asks the old time question, “Which came first, the chicken or the egg?” In this case, the plastic egg comes first.
