Mother Hen With Her Baby Chicks Coloring Page

A mother hen stands on the left of the sheet with her chicks beside her on the right, all of them drawn with the same thick outlines so a child can tell them apart by size alone. It is the friendliest page in the set and the one most parents pick for a farm topic at school. A hen really does look after her brood like this. She calls them with a soft clucking sound, shows them where to find food by tapping at the ground, and tucks the whole family under her wings at night. Tell a child that before they start and the page stops being a group of birds and becomes a small story. The chicks are drawn as plain rounded shapes with a beak and one eye each, so there is very little to go wrong for a colourer who is still learning to stay inside a line. Give the hen a strong colour and keep the chicks pale so the two sizes stay easy to read from across the room.
