Peacock Mom and Three Chicks Walking Through Grass

Coloring guide
A mother peahen strides across the page, head turned back, with a small crest of round-tipped feathers on top. Three fluffy chicks follow close behind her, each with a tiny tuft on its head, a little beak and stubby legs. Her big wing is drawn with large scalloped feathers, and smaller scale-like patterns cover the front of her chest. The tail trails along behind her body. Grass tufts fill the ground, and a daisy-style flower with a round center sits in each lower corner. Bold lines and roomy shapes make this a comfortable page for preschoolers and early elementary kids. Soft yellow chicks, teal and blue wing feathers on mom, and pink or purple petals would look lovely. It's a free printable that makes a sweet spring or farm-animal activity. Fans of Peacock coloring pages often like Puppies and Cats as well.

A suggested order, zone by zone — skip around as you like.
- 1Start by coloring the peacock's large body and neck in bright blue, leaving the eye whites and the small highlight near the crest white.
- 2Fill the big upper wing section with leaf green, then color the lower wing feathers in a mix of royal blue, sea green, turquoise and bright blue.
- 3Color the three chicks' fluffy bodies and wings in lemon yellow, and fill the crest tips and flower centers with the same yellow.
- 4Use golden yellow for the beak and the peacock's feet, and color the long leg in light blue.
- 5Leave the flower petals, background grass space and eye whites white so the drawing stays bright and clean.
- 6Optional: add a little darker shading with a deeper shade of the same color along the edges of the wing feathers for extra depth.
