Simple Baby Chick in Profile Facing Left

A round little chick stands in side view, facing left, with a big rounded head and a small pointed beak. One eye with a dark pupil sits near the top of the head, and a curved line under the cheek separates the head from the body. The plump body has a large wing shape in the middle with three pointed feather strokes at the back edge. The tail end has a soft scalloped outline, and two thin legs end in spread, pointed toes. The lines are bold and the spaces are big, which makes this a good fit for preschoolers and kindergarteners working on crayon control. Try filling the body with yellow and using orange for the beak and feet. Then ask kids to color the wing a slightly different shade so the feather strokes stand out.
