Mother Hen Among Flowers With Her Two Chicks

A big round mother hen sits in the middle of the page with her head turned to the side, showing a large curious eye, a small pointed beak, a wavy comb on top and a wattle hanging below. Her wing has layered feathers, and her tail feathers fan up in tall rounded points. Along the bottom, two small chicks stand near her. One faces her with an open eye, and the other leans forward with its head down as if pecking at the ground. Several flowers with pointed leaves sit beside the hen and between the chicks. The large open shapes on the body and wing are easy for small hands to fill in. Try yellow for the chicks and a different warm color for the hen, then talk about how a mother hen looks after her babies. This printable page works well for preschool farm lessons.
