Printable Chick Mask

printable chick mask for kids

Fluffy, yellow and absolutely adorable - our printable chick mask is the most cheerful thing you'll print all year! Baby chicks are universally loved by children, and this mask captures all that soft, wobbly, just-hatched charm perfectly. Brilliant for Easter plays, spring classroom activities, farm animal projects, World Book Day, birthday parties, and the sweetest imaginative play going.

A seasonal staple that's equally at home in an Easter egg hunt or a farmyard play - and paired with the hen, rooster and egg masks it makes for a brilliant set. Every mask comes with a full colour version AND a black and white line art version for colouring in.

5 Interesting Facts About Chicks!

  • Baby chicks start communicating with their mother before they've even hatched - they peep from inside the egg and she clucks back, so they recognise her voice the moment they break out.
  • A chick uses a special temporary tooth called an egg tooth to crack open its shell - this tiny hard tip on the beak falls off within a few days of hatching.
  • Newly hatched chicks are 'precocial' - they can walk, see and feed themselves within hours of hatching, unlike many baby birds that are born helpless.
  • Hens turn their eggs up to 50 times a day while incubating them, to make sure the developing chick inside doesn't stick to the shell.
  • Chicks grow incredibly fast - within 6 weeks, a fluffy yellow chick has transformed into a fully feathered young chicken almost the size of an adult.
