Mother Hen and Chick Walking Under a Smiling Sun

A large mother hen walks across a grassy yard with her head turned to look down at a small chick standing near her feet. The hen has a rounded comb, an open beak, fluffy chest feathers, layered wing feathers, and a tail that fans up at the back. The little chick has a tiny wing, a short beak, and one round eye. Above them, a smiling sun with a happy face sends out long rays. Two puffy bushes sit behind the hen, and a few grassy hills and ground lines fill the background. The big feather sections are easy to color, so younger kids can try a different shade on the hen's wings, chest, and tail. You could also use the two birds to talk about parents and babies, and how a chick grows into a hen.
