Baby Chick Hatching From a Cracked Egg in a Straw Nest
Coloring guide
This fluffy chick is peeking out of a cracked eggshell, with both little wings resting on the jagged edge. It has big round shiny eyes, a small pointed beak, an open smiling mouth and a tuft of feathers on its head. Spiky straw runs along the bottom of the page to make the nest. Bold, clean lines and big open spaces keep this free printable easy for preschoolers and kindergartners. Bright yellow works well for the feathers, with orange on the beak and wings, and pastel stripes or polka dots on the shell. Brown and golden crayons suit the straw. Good for Easter activities, spring lessons or a quiet afternoon of coloring. More like this: explore the Birds, Bat and Frog coloring page collections.
