FELTBOARD: Eggs All Around


This is a cute Springtime feltboard story which gets the kids involved. You cover each animal with an egg and read just the first 2 lines of each verse and pull away the egg just a tiny bit to reveal a small portion of the animal. Once they have guessed the animal read the last line of the verse. Have the kids chant the chorus with you each time you say it.

Eggs in the treetops
Eggs on the ground
Eggs in the water
Eggs all around

Eggs, eggs, lots of eggs
Who's inside the little one begs

This one hatches, and
I see a smile
It's a toothy crocodile

Eggs, eggs, lots of eggs
Who's inside the little one begs

Heres an egg
Way in the back,
Out comes a baby duck,
Quack, quack, quack

Eggs, eggs, lots of eggs
Who's inside the little one begs

Inside this egg
Who does dwell?
A tiny turtle in it's shell

Eggs, eggs, lots of eggs
Who's inside the little one begs

Eggs in the water
Make a wish
When they pop open, there'll be a fish

Of all the eggs,
I like the best
The robin's eggs in her nest

* If you have a portion of a blue robins egg bring it in to share with the kids. Ask them if they have ever seen blue eggshells on the ground at their house or in the park.
