Goofy Rooster Strutting With One Foot Raised

A cartoon rooster walks across the page with one foot lifted high and its toes spread wide. Its head tilts back, the beak hangs open, and one big round eye with a small dot pupil gives it a silly, surprised look. A spiky comb stands up on top of the head, and a shaggy ruff of feathers runs down the chest. The wing is marked with short feather lines, and the long tail has several curved plumes that sweep up and back. The standing leg ends in a clawed foot with pointed toes. Try a rainbow tail with each plume in a different color, then pick warm reds and oranges for the body. The large open areas are easy for younger kids, and the feather lines give older kids some detail work. This free printable also works well for a farm animal unit.
