Number Recognition – Match the Chicken to the Egg Printable

By

We love having deviled eggs around Easter time. I thought your children would have fun matching the numbers and symbols on deviled eggs with the numbers on the various sections of the egg tray. There are several matching sets available in the printable set. The first set is number eggs to match to number chicks. Set number two features tally mark eggs to match to number chicks. The final set features dots that are colored red like the paprika you put on deviled eggs.  Each of the sets focuses on working on number recognition.

Getting Ready the Activity Ready to Use

You will need to print out the Number Recognition – Matching the Chicken to the Egg out on a color printer.  Each of your children will need an egg tray printable and the egg matching set of your choice.

You will also need a set ofmini wooden clothespins. Your children will use the clothespins to hold the egg in place on top of the number chick that they match.

Number Recognition - Match the Chicken to the Egg Printables : This activity features a numbered deviled egg tray and three sets of number matching eggs. The first has tally marks, the second has numbers and the third has paprika colored dots. This is what the full set looks like.

You may decide you want to glue the egg trays to pieces of cardstock or cardboard to make them more sturdy and easier to work with.

If you plan on only using one of the sets of egg cards, you can make the activity self-checking. You draw the number, dot group or tally marks on the back of the tray underneath each under a number. Your children can then turn the tray over to see with they have made a correct match.

If you choose not to make this activity self-checking, you can have your children show you their matches. You can visually check to see if they have made the correct number recognition matches.

You may want to store the egg tray printable and clothespins in zippered pencil pouch to keep all the pieces together.

Chicken Parmesan Recipe and Tyson Project A+™

Chicken Parmesan Recipe and Tyson Project A+™

My son goes to one school and I teach at another. I am always looking for ways to help his school that don’t involve being at school during the day. The Tyson Project A+™ gives me two avenues of helping out JDaniel’s school. I am also always looking for fun and fast dinner ideas! Let me tell you a little about Tyson Project A+™ and share a simple Chicken Parmesan recipe for kids.

Chicken Parmesan Recipe and Tyson Project A+™

Let me tell you about the Tyson Project A+™

Chicken Parmesan Recipe and TysonProject A+™

The first way to help your children’s school is to send in Tyson® Project A+™ labels from Tyson® products. As I shared with you last week, Tyson® chicken nuggets, Tyson® Fun Nuggets, and Tyson® Crispy Chicken Strips are ingredients that are great for creating fun and fast family meals. Knowing you can use them to create a variety of dinner ideas will make gathering labels for this program easy!

A second way that you can help your children’s school is give them a head start on collecting labels by sharing what you might be able to buy with the money raised and encouraging others to nominate your school for a special gift. You can do that right on the Tyson Project A+™ site.

Here is how:

When you have given the reason why you think people should send in the labels to your school, you will be given the opportunity to share it with others. There are easy to use social media feed options that you can use right on the site. Letting people know about the program will only take a click. The school with the most nominations will get a $1,000 worth of labels. (That would be a great way to kick off your school’s Tyson Project A+™ project.)

In this day and age when schools are having to cut their budgets this is simple way to help out. I love that I can offer help outside of school time. I love that in addition to helping my son’s school I get to have a super easy to prepare meal ingredient to serve my family. In my book that is a win-win!

Below you will find a fun way to meal idea for kids featuring Tyson® Fun Nuggets!

Chicken Nugget Recipe Ideas and Tysons A+ Project

Chicken Parmesan Recipe and Tyson Project A+™

 

With school now in session my son and I headed to our local Walmart to stock up on Tyson® chicken  we can use to make quick dinners. We both are in school! He has started second grade and I teach in the computer lab. With full days at school, homework sessions and sports some nights I just need quick yet healthy meals to put on the table. Let me share with you the chicken nugget dinner ideas we came up with and a few things about the Tyson® A+ Project. (You will love the project as much as their chicken!)

One of my go-to main dish ingredients is chicken. My husband and son both really like it. (I like it too.) During our trip to Walmart, we grabbed bags of Tyson® Crispy Strips, Tyson® Fun Nuggets, and Tyson® Nuggets. I knew we could use them to in casseroles, tossed into salad, and as a main dish on their own. We just have to heat them up and they would be ready to go.

On busy nights we need things that have very little cooking time. There is only so much time to cook and eat a meal before it is time to start winding down for bedtime some nights. All of the Tyson® products are easy enough to prepare that my son can help me get dinner ready. That cuts down on prep time and gives my son a way to help with the meal.Chicken Nugget Recipe Ideas and Tysons A+ Project

After checking out at Walmart, we headed home to create list of chicken nugget recipe ideas we could create with them. We will be having chicken a lot on busy nights and I wanted a go to list of ways to serve it.

Chicken Nugget Recipe Ideas and Tysons A+ Project

The Tyson® chicken we purchased has 100% natural ingredients and will be simple to prepare. After looking at our list of main dish ideas we will be starting with the Tyson® Fun Nuggets! (I just love that they are all white meat. My son likes that they are dinosaurs.)

Chicken Nugget Recipe Ideas and Tysons A+ Project

Beyond loving the fact that the Tyson® products will be great for my family, I love that they have started the Tyson® Project A+ to help schools. The project has two wonderful ways of helping schools. The first is to donate 24 cents for each label on any of their amazing products sent in to your school. The second way they are helping schools is giving you a way to share a need your school has. The school with the most nominations for their request will get a $1,000 worth of Project A+ labels. There are always things schools have on their wish lists. These are two great ways that they can get them.

Let me know which of the chicken nugget recipe ideas you think you would like to try! Remember if you make it with Tyson® products you will have a label you can send in to school for the Tyson® Project A+.

What is your favorite way to serve chicken nuggets? Do your kids have favorite dip?
