Mother hen with chicks coloring page

A hen with four chicks around her feet, each chick a slightly different size and pose. Five birds means five little jobs on one sheet, and a natural excuse to count out loud.
Color by number version
A color by number version of the same subject, with 13 numbered areas and a key of 5 crayon colors. Each number sits inside its area, never on a line, and the key prints beneath the picture on the same sheet — so it still prints in black and white.

How to color the Mother hen with chicks coloring page
Count them as they get coloured: one, two, three, four, and the hen makes five birds. Counting a thing that is being made is different from counting a row of dots on a worksheet, and it is the reason this sheet ends up teaching more than it looks like it should. The chicks are all slightly different sizes, so they also sort into an order — biggest to smallest — which is a second thing to do with the same drawing.
