Chicken Life Cycle Printables

We took some time this evening before bedtime to learn about the life cycle of chickens! I designed the printables last week and we were thankfully able to get to them today. The first week of school has been hectic, to say the least. We’re finding our groove though, and Lore was super happy to do this little study with me.

I printed the outlined version so Lore could use her crayons and color in the pictures. It was a little more hands-on and interesting for her that way. She chose to color her egg and chicken brown.

After we discussed the chicken’s life cycle, I printed out our chicken craft. I gave Lorelai the option to color a chicken, rooster, or chick, and she chose the chicken. We did that one a long time ago and she enjoyed coloring her “magical” chicken. She cut out the shapes and pasted them together all by herself.

So there it is, our study on the chicken life cycle! It was simple and easy for her to grasp. She said this one was her favorite over the Frog Life Cycle and the Butterfly Life Cycle. I have to agree.

Thanks for stopping by! I hope these printables are useful to you!
