Baby Bird in a Nest with Three Eggs in a Tree

Coloring guide
Sitting happily in a woven twig nest is a round little chick with a tuft of feathers on its head, big sparkly eyes and a small open beak. Three smooth eggs rest in front of it, and one small wing is tucked against its side. The nest is cradled in the fork of a sturdy tree, with large leaves on the branches at left, right and lower right. Bold, clean outlines and roomy shapes make this free printable easy for preschoolers and early elementary kids. The eggs and the chick's body are big simple spaces for chunky crayons, and the straw lines of the nest give older kids something finer to do. Try sunny yellow for the chick, soft speckled pastels on the eggs, warm browns for the nest and trunk, and fresh greens for the leaves.
