A Sweet Spring Addition: Yellow Chick at the Easter Hat Parade
There’s something very special about spring in the classroom—new life, bright colors, and those familiar little traditions that children look forward to each year.
I’ve added a new directed drawing to Directed Drawing Fun Bundle 2—a Yellow Chick at the Easter Hat Parade—and it’s such a joyful one to explore with your learners.
This drawing features a big, happy chick with loopy wings and simple lines, wearing a decorated Easter hat. Students can follow the steps to create the chick, then design their own hat with bows, flowers, or any creative details they choose. Backgrounds can be added too, making each artwork unique and personal.
The pack also includes tracing and coloring pages, giving you flexible options for fine motor practice, early finishers, or a calm creative moment.
Extend the Learning with Writing
This drawing makes a lovely starting point for simple writing activities. You might invite students to:- Write a recount of their Easter Hat Parade experience
- Describe their hat using a sentence or two
- Imagine and write about their chick and where it is going
🌷 A Simple Idea to Try First
Before drawing, you could look at a spring or Easter scene together and build a classroom chart of adjectives.
For example:
- yellow chick
- pretty hat
- little flower
- tiny egg
- green grass
- soft feather
This gives students a bank of words they can use in their writing and helps them notice details in the world around them. Print this one from Google Drive.
The Yellow Chick is a creative way to bring together art, language, and seasonal learning—all while celebrating a little moment of childhood joy.
If you already have Directed Drawing Fun Bundle 2, it’s ready and waiting for you 💛
