Mother Bird Dangling a Worm Over Her Hungry Chick

Mother Bird Dangling a Worm Over Her Hungry Chick printable coloring page

Coloring guide

A big bird stands on the edge of a round, ribbed stump or bucket and holds a long wiggly worm in its beak. Below the worm, a smaller bird sits in a fluffy, scruffy nest with its beak wide open, waiting for the snack. Both birds have simple round heads, small dot eyes, short legs and little fan-shaped tails. A puffy cloud with a flat bottom floats in the empty sky above. The shapes are big and the lines are bold, so this one works well for younger kids with chunky crayons. Try coloring the worm pink or brown and the nest in several shades of straw yellow, then talk about what baby birds eat and how parent birds take care of them. Print it free for a quiet nature lesson at home or in class.
