Chick Chirping Inside a Cracked Eggshell

A round little chick sits inside a broken eggshell with its beak wide open, as if it is chirping at the world. Its two small eyes are solid black dots, and a few tufts of feathers stick up on top of its head. Both wings are stretched out to the sides with scalloped feather tips, and the open beak shows a tongue inside. The bottom half of the shell has a zigzag broken edge along the top and a jagged crack running down the front. The outlines are thick and simple, so this one works well for younger kids who are still building control with crayons. Try soft yellow for the chick, a bright orange beak, and a speckled or pastel pattern on the shell. It also pairs nicely with a lesson on how chicks hatch from eggs. Print a few copies for spring or Easter activities.
