Try This Penny Trick

Hi readers,

Here’s a fun trick you can try on your friends and family this weekend.

You’ll need:

6 pennies

What to do:

1. Lay down six pennies. Ask your friend or family member to set them up in two rows of four pennies each.

2. If they get stuck, you can help them! Just put one penny on top of another, then place a penny on all four sides of the stacked pennies like I did below!

See? Two rows of four pennies!

Did you try this trick on anyone? Leave a comment below!

Have a great weekend!

Cool Costume

Hey readers!

Did you have a spook-tacular Halloween?

chickaDEE reader Alison, 9, sure did! She dressed up in the creepy Magical Medusa costume as seen in the October 2011 issue of chickaDEE.

Check it out!

Isn’t that cool? Alison won first place in a costume contest for her ghoul-ish getup.

Nice job, Alison!

Send photos of your costume to chickadeeblog@owlkids.com.

It’s Bat Appreciation Month!

Hi readers,

October is Bat Appreciation Month. So I went through oodles of chickaDEE Magazines to find some facts about these cool flying mammals. Read below!

4 Facts About Bats from chickaDEE Magazine

1. A brown bat can eat 500-600 insects in one hour.
2. The flying fox is the world’s largest bat. It’s almost the same size as a small dog.
3. The bumblebee bat is the world’s smallest bat. It can fit on your thumb and weighs less than a penny.
4. The vampire bat sucks the blood of live cows, pigs, birds and horses.
