Chickens. Either you love them or you hate them. Our family loves them and their eggs. In fact, we would love to get some egg-laying chickens because we go through a dozen plus each time we have them for breakfast. But before we do, I knew we needed to do some research on different kinds, what works best here in our climate, how to care for them and pretty much everything we could learn about them.
So of course, being a homeschooling mom, I decided we needed some printables to go along with our research and make this a fun unit with the kids! These Chicken Life Cycle Coloring pages are a great way to start a unit, fill in some extra time or just for fun!
4 Sets of Coloring Pages Include:
- Printed words for Toddlers to just color the pages
- Traceable letters for early writers to practice and color
- Manuscript names to trace
- Cursive names to trace
If you’re looking for some great readers to use while learning about Ants, check out these great titles. Many are probably available at your local library, or you could get a Kindle version for most of them on Amazon. I love using my Kindle Reader app to read with my kids. I have so many titles at the tip of my fingers in just minutes!

It’s so awesome how you have these units for multiple age levels and I like how you have manuscript and cursive options. Thanks for sharing with #SocialButterflySunday! Hope to see you link up again this week 🙂
Thank you! Always looking for a fun way to sneak in some handwriting practice! Thanks for hosting!
OH my goodness! THANK YOU for these resources! I just started homeschooling my three girls ages 4,5, and 8. The resource pack on the chicken life cycle is incredible because it included the different levels to engage all three of my girls on the same topic! The older two just joined 4H and are showing chickens next month so this has paired with our real-life hands-on experience beautifully! THANK YOU!!
Oh I’m so glad you liked it!! And congratulations on your new homeschooling journey! Please reach out if you have any questions and be sure to join our Facebook group for encouragement, tips and more!
