Chirping Chick Popping Out of a Cracked Egg

A little chick pops up out of a cracked egg with its beak open wide, as if it is chirping hello. The top half of the shell sits above its head like a hat, with a zigzag edge along the bottom, and the bottom half of the shell wraps around its body with a matching jagged top edge. The chick has two round eyes with small pupils, an oval beak, and a happy open mouth showing a tongue. Its body is a simple rounded shape with a narrow waist, and the outlines are bold and thick, so it is easy for small hands to color inside. Try yellow for the chick and pale pastels for the shell pieces, then talk about how chicks hatch. This printable page also works well for spring and Easter activity tables.
