A chick chick here & a chick chick there

Look at all these colorful chickens Nana crocheted for Mia's Kindergarten class. When Zane was in Kindergarten she made chickens then too. (I think we forgot during the Kaylee/Trent Kind years.)

So this year a week before the party, I called Mom and asked if she remembered how to make them. Nana went through all the steps with me, and then I asked, "so can you make 18 of those by next Wednesday?"

Of course, she could! IF it's for the Grandkids, It's completely do-able.

She even made all the little pom pom tails and tied them on to each of them.

Nana also use to make these a long time ago when she taught school and gave them out to her class for Easter. So Mia go to take them to the party and pass them out. Each of the chicks sits up because of the plastic easter egg inside of them.

The girls handled them gently and placed them nicely in their baskets. Treating them like real pets.

The boys made them "expel" the eggs and laughed about how it "just laid an egg" But they were equally as thrilled.
