Peep, peep, peep, peep, peep – that’s five little chicks! This number 5 coloring page pairs a big 5 with five fluffy chick coloring buddies. It’s a free printable made for counting out loud.
Why Kids Love These Five Chicks
The five chicks snuggle side by side in one row on the grass. Each has a little feather tuft, big round eyes, a pointy beak, stubby wings and two three-toed feet. Five is exactly the number of fingers on one hand, so your child can hold up a finger for every chick. Their round bodies are nice and big and quick to fill in.

Learning with the Number 5 – Plus Chick Facts
The numeral 5 fits perfectly with one hand: five fingers, five chicks. Touch a finger to each chick and count out loud. A chick hatches from an egg that the hen has kept warm for about three weeks. Chicks even cheep while still inside the egg, and the hen answers them. Did you know? Baby chicks are covered in soft fuzz called down, and their real feathers grow in later.
What to Do with Your Five Chicks
Glue on yellow craft feathers or bits of yarn for extra-fluffy chicks. Or play a finger rhyme where one chick hides with every verse until none are left.
