Chicken Little and Henny Penny

Who remembers the story of Chicken Little and Henny Penny? In my day it was Chicken Licken... but this version is great too :) This has to be one of my favourites and the version I have happens to have the most gorgeous illustrations... win, win!

I read the story for the Doodlebugs today and we had lots of fun repeating the lines in the book... "The sky is falling, the sky is falling... we must run for our lives!!"

We painted a scene from the book and the children got to choose if they wanted to make Chicken Little or Henny Penny. For this project I got to pull out our painted papers that we made last week. They used templates to trace Chicken Little and Henny Penny out on these pretty papers and painted the background of grass and sky for them to be stuck on afterward.

Take a look at the process and how they turned out.
