Big Smiling Cartoon Chicken Coloring Page

One big cartoon chicken fills this sheet from top to bottom, standing face on with a comb across the top of its head, two round eyes, a pointed beak and two rounded wattles underneath. Nothing else sits on the page, so it holds the fewest separate areas of anything in this set and it is the sheet to reach for with a three year old who is still learning where the line is. Older children can treat the wide blank body as space for pattern work rather than flat colour, which turns an easy page into a longer one without printing anything different. The comb is the part worth talking about while they work, because it is not decoration. A chicken has no way to sweat, so blood moving through that thin crest of skin is one of the main ways the bird sheds heat on a hot day. Colour it brightly and it will still be the first thing anyone notices about the finished page.
