Let’s get to know the lesson through this quick video:

| Egg party notice Flashcard Animals that Lay Eggs picture cards | Humpty Dumpty card | Pages 12, 13 |
Let’s ‘stretch’ this lesson!
The bigger the bird, the bigger the size of its egg. Chicken eggs, on the other hand, come in different sizes according to the age of the hen. The older the hen, the bigger the eggs laid. Whereas, the different colours of chicken eggs is determined by genetics.
Tip: If you ran out of egg shells, the Humpty Dumpty craft can be decorated using other materials too such as coloured paper, cotton balls, feathers, and many more.
