Fluffy Chick Hatching From a Cracked Egg Coloring Page
A downy chick breaks out of its egg with the cracked top still perched on its head like a little hat.

The cracked shell top has landed on the chick's head at an angle, and that small joke is what carries the page. The lower half of the egg is a wide smooth oval with a jagged zigzag rim where it broke, and the chick stands up out of it with its wings spread against the sides. Both halves of the shell are completely blank inside, so they can take a pattern, a flat tone or nothing at all. The chick is fringed all over with short spiky strokes to suggest down, and its face carries two round eyes and a small open beak drawn in two triangles. Two scaly legs and three toed feet stick out below the egg, which does not quite make sense and is much funnier for it. This is an Easter and springtime favorite, and the shapes are big enough for a three year old. If you want a longer activity, ask a child to decorate both shell pieces with a repeating pattern before coloring the bird.
