Birds worksheets

Here parents will find 23 coloring pages covering a wide sweep of the bird world, from a stately peacock to a peacock with its tail feathers fanned fully open, alongside an owl, an eagle, a parrot and a flamingo. The range runs from simple, large-shaped outlines that suit younger children just getting used to a crayon, through to the more elaborate feather patterns on the open-tailed peacock, which gives older preschoolers something to sit with for longer. Coloring these pages gives a child practice at working within a boundary and choosing colors that make sense for a real creature, whether that is the pink of a flamingo or the bold blue-green of a peacock's tail. It is also a gentle way into talking about how different birds look and where they might live, so the sheets work equally well as a quiet solo activity or as something to color together while chatting about each bird.
