Simple hens for young children
This set features friendly hens in clear, easy-to-colour scenes. Children may see a hen standing in grass, sitting near a nest, walking with chicks or resting beside a coop. Large spaces and strong outlines help children aged 2 to 4 enjoy the activity without too much detail. Children aged 5 to 6 can add backgrounds, patterns and extra farm objects. You can talk about the hen's feathers, beak, wings and feet as your child colours.
Colouring at home or in class
At home, read a short farm story before your child chooses a picture. Ask your child to colour the hen, then add a sun, a few blades of grass or a small bowl of grain. In class, use the pages for a farm animals theme, a letter H activity or a quiet centre task. Invite children to compare colours and describe their pictures using words such as soft, fluffy, brown, white and red. Older children can label the hen, nest and coop.
Three simple hen facts for children
A hen is a female chicken. Hens have feathers, wings, two legs and a beak, but most hens do not fly high or far. A hen can lay eggs, and a baby chicken that hatches from an egg is called a chick. Hens make sounds such as clucking, especially when they are with their chicks. While your child colours, ask which part is the wing, where the egg might be found and what sound a hen makes.
Lumi's tips
- For younger children, offer just three chunky crayons and name each colour as your child uses it.
- For older children, ask them to add a repeating feather pattern, a nest with eggs or labels for the hen's body parts.
- After colouring, visit a local farm or watch hens from a safe distance and compare their colours, sounds and movements with the picture.
