Family Tree Craft

Hi readers,

I’m here to tell you about a fun craft you can do with your family. Make a fun and creative family tree!

You’ll need:

• A large piece of paper
• A brown or black marker
• Coloured paints
• A paintbrush
• Your hand

What to do:

• Use a marker to draw a tree trunk and branches, leaving lots of space around them. 
• Paint the palm of your hand and press it down next to a branch to make a handprint. This is your leaf.
• Use a marker to write your name on your handprint.
• Using different colours of paint, add handprints for your family members. Write their names on their handprints.

And there you have it, a family tree made up of your whole family! The more family members you have to include, the bigger your tree will be.

If you make this craft, be sure to send us a picture!

The December issue is here!

Hi readers,

The December issue of Chirp is all about FAMILY FUN.

Check out the Look & Learn section to meet four amazing animal families. The photos and information on these pages were taken from a book that I helped make called Animal Babies with Their Families. This book was so fun to make because it’s filled with all kinds of cute animal photos! It was so hard to pick which ones to print in the book because there were hundreds of adorable photos to choose from. We hope you like this book and we hope you like the December issue of Chirp magazine!

Baby Animals with Their Families is available to purchase here or here.

Happy reading!

Howling Family Fun!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The December issue of Chirp is all about FAMILY so we thought it would be great to feature wolf packs in our Amazing Animal section this month. Wolves live live and work together as a team to raise pups and hunt for food. And one of the coolest things about wolves is that they howl to talk to each other. Check out this video of arctic wolves howling!

 

Howl at you later Chirp fans!
