Chicken Coloring Page
About This Coloring Page
The chicken is the farm animal a child hears before seeing, and the page draws the hen with her chick: a big round hen standing in the farmyard with her comb and wattle, one small chick at her feet looking up, the barn and a fence behind them, the sun and a few clouds in the sky.
The hen is one big rounded shape for a toddler to fill, the chick is the same shape made small, and the barn is a simple house with a door to trace. The fence is a row of posts, the scalloped feather lines on the hen's chest are the careful part for whoever wants it.
Ask what sound the hen makes and what the chick says back. Then ask which one is bigger and which is smaller, and the page becomes the farmyard visit a child talks about for a week.
