Baby Chick Hatching Out of an Egg Coloring Page

A baby chick stands in the bottom half of its shell with the jagged crack running around the rim, which is the moment most children want to draw when they hear about eggs. The two shapes are large and completely separate, so a small child can fill the shell one colour and the chick another without the two running together. Hatching takes a lot longer than the picture suggests. A chick works at the shell from the inside for the better part of a day, using a small hard point on the tip of its beak called an egg tooth, which drops off within a few days of hatching and never grows back. That is the fact to hand a child while they colour. Keep the shell pale and the chick brighter and the sheet reads clearly from across a classroom. There is enough blank paper around the egg to add a nest or a second egg if the page feels bare.
