In some countries, legend has it that Easter eggs are brought by bunnies.  But did you ever ask yourself the question: who lays those famous Easter eggs?  It’s time to give credit to the hen for her work!

The little Animaplates hen is a nice project to do with your children in anticipation of Easter.  On Easter Sunday, the bunnies can put their chocolate eggs in the nest under the little hen.  Can you imagine the wonder in the kids’ eyes when they discover that their hen laid chocolate eggs overnight!  The project makes a nice table decoration that displays the artistic prowess of your children.

Whether at home or at school, this art project can be integrated with a lesson about farm animals.  The children will discover that there are all kinds of chickens with different colours and they will be able to express their creativity.  When painting the hen and the nest, the children can learn different painting techniques using special brushes or a sponge to add texture to the colour.
