Penguin Coloring Page (2 of 4)

A penguin parent and chick huddle together on the ice. The large adult and the fluffy-feathered youngster make for a heart-warming pair. Color the parent's black feathers and the chick's soft down separately and the warmth between them shines through. There is a little more detail than the opening sheet.

About the Penguin

Penguins are endearing birds of the cold seas, standing upright on two feet with plump bodies and short wings shaped like flippers. Though they cannot fly, they are swift and graceful swimmers, and their black-and-white plumage and waddling walk give them a charm that is loved everywhere.

With their upright stance and friendly, sociable nature, penguins have a warm, universal appeal that brings a smile to all ages. The simple, rounded shape and clear black-and-white contrast make the penguin an easy and pleasant subject to color.

Benefits as a Coloring & Brain Training Activity

For coloring, the black of the back and the white of the belly are easy and satisfying to fill separately, and adding the blue of the ice and sea brings the polar scene to life. From a single chick to a great gathering on the ice, the clear shapes make a soothing page that is pleasant to finish and gently engages the mind.
