This month's free, printable Easter coloring page from children's book illustrator, Melanie Hope Greenberg is so cheerful. It features Easter chicks floating in Easter eggs with their umbrellas open to protect them from the Easter candy raining down.

Personally, I'd love to be caught in a jelly bean rain storm. But this coloring page is not just for Easter. This sweet illustration will enchant young artists any day in spring!

Free Easter Coloring Page

As you can see below, my four-year-old was very enthusiastic with the colored pencils! I never issue the instructions, "stay in the lines." How boring! (Please overlook the stained shirt, that's what happens when your mom is super-cheap and you wear your brother's hand-me-downs.) You can also see that he is still working on his pencil grip!

Tip: Tuck this Easter coloring page into your child's Easter basket, along with one of our 10 Essential Easter Picture Books and your little one is sure to forget all about gobbling up as many Peeps as possible.

Just kidding. He'll still want those sticky marshmallow treats.
