About this coloring page
A smiling penguin with a short beak stands upright on a thick slab of ice, its flippers held slightly out at its sides. A large oval shape marks its white tummy, and two small webbed feet rest on the floe. The ice is drawn as a chunky platform with crack lines across the top and side.
Coloring ideas
Color the back and head black or dark blue and leave the tummy white, then add a bright orange beak and feet. The ice looks icy in pale blue and white with a few darker blue cracks. Fill the space with a deep blue sea below and a pastel sky, or let the penguin wear a colorful scarf you draw yourself.
Skills practiced
Penguins are birds that cannot fly, which is a fun fact to discuss: what makes a bird a bird? Counting real penguin facts (they swim, they slide on their bellies, they live in the Southern Hemisphere) builds early science knowledge, and the snowy setting fits a winter unit.
Printing tips
This is a quick page with large spaces, great for a short break. Washable markers give a smooth black back; on plain paper, crayons keep the color from showing through.
