Cracked Easter Egg with a Smiling Chick
Coloring guide
Peeking out of a cracked eggshell, a happy little chick rests both tiny wings on the jagged broken edge. Its big round eyes have sparkly highlights and its open beak makes a cheerful smile, with a small tuft of feathers on top of its head. The large egg below is smooth and empty, so kids can fill it with polka dots, stripes, zigzags or one solid color. Little tufts of grass grow around the base of the shell on both sides. Thick outlines and big open spaces keep this free printable easy for preschoolers and early elementary kids. Soft yellow suits the fluffy chick, orange works for the beak and wings, and fresh green is good for the grass. A pastel pattern on the shell would look pretty on the fridge or a classroom wall in spring. This page is part of our Easter coloring pages collection — check out Disney Easter and Fall too.
