Egg-Shaped Chick with a Leafy Crest from Pikmi Pops

A chubby, egg-shaped bird fills the page, with a big tuft of crest feathers on top of its head and a small beak. Its tongue sticks out of the mouth, and its eyes are large and shiny with little lashes and curved eyebrows. Both wings are raised out to the sides, each with scalloped edges along the bottom. Pointed, leaf-like feathers fan out all around the body like a sunburst, and two small feet peek out underneath. The lines are thick and the shapes are big, so it works well for younger kids using chunky crayons or markers. Try coloring each fan feather a different shade to make a rainbow tail, then use one bright color for the crest and another for the wings. The large blank belly leaves room for patterns like dots or stripes. A free printable like this is a nice calm activity for home or class.
