We just got back from a super fun spring break! We spent lots of time swimming and eating yummy food. We even tried to do belly flops in the pool, which was really funny, even if it made us a little sore.
Now that we’re back, let’s do something fun and creative: drawing a baby chicken! Grab some markers and paper, and let’s get started.
First, draw two big circles in the middle of your paper. These are the chicken’s eyes. Inside each big circle, draw a small circle at the top right and another at the bottom left. Color the big circles, but leave the little ones white. This makes the eyes look like a cartoon!
Next, draw a “V” shape between the eyes. This is the bottom of the chicken’s beak. Then, draw a gentle curve on top to finish the beak.
For the chicken’s hair, draw three little loops right above the beak and between the eyes. This makes your chicken look cute and fun!
Draw a big circle around the eyes and beak to make the chicken’s head. Below the head, draw a small “U” shape for the body.
Add wings by drawing two small “U” shapes on each side of the body. For the feet, draw tiny “U” shapes at the bottom of the body.
Now it’s time to color your chicken! Use crayons, colored pencils, or paint to make your chicken bright and colorful.
For extra fun, draw a background for your chicken. Maybe some grass, eggs, or a scene with a chicken popping out of an egg. Use your imagination!
Drawing this baby chicken was so much fun and a great way to be creative. We hope you enjoyed making your own chicken. Keep drawing and have fun!
Chicken Observation Walk: Take a walk in your neighborhood or visit a local farm to see if you can spot any real chickens. Observe their colors, shapes, and movements. How do they look different from the chicken you drew? Can you see any baby chickens? Talk about what you notice with a friend or family member.
Egg Experiment: With the help of an adult, try a simple egg experiment at home. Place a raw egg in a cup of vinegar and watch what happens over a few days. What changes do you see? How does this relate to the baby chicken you drew? Discuss what you think is happening to the egg.
Story Time with Your Chicken: Use your imagination to create a short story about your drawn baby chicken. Where does it live? What adventures does it go on? Share your story with your classmates or family. You can even draw more pictures to illustrate your story!
