Why This Chick Is Perfect for Toddlers

Almost the whole page is one round body – a huge space that little hands can fill easily. There’s just a small beak, one wing, a tuft on top and two skinny legs. The thick sticker line around the outside shows exactly where coloring ends. Even the oval patch under its feet can get some color.

All About Baby Chicks

A chick grows inside its egg for about 21 days while the hen sits on top to keep it warm. Chicks cheep inside the egg before they hatch – and the mother hen clucks back! When they hatch, they’re covered in soft down; real feathers grow in later. A hen often hatches a whole group of chicks at once. Girl chicks grow up to be hens, and boys become roosters.

Fun Ideas for Your Finished Chick

Glue yellow cotton balls or craft feathers onto the chick to make it extra fluffy. At Easter, cut it out along the sticker line and stand it next to your egg basket.
