Penguin Chick Standing With Fluffy Down Coloring Page

A chick stands square to the viewer with its flippers held slightly out from its sides and its feet planted flat, and the whole figure is built from four or five large shapes. That simplicity is the appeal. The head carries a small spiky tuft of down on top, two round dark eyes and a triangular beak drawn as two halves. A curved line separates the pale front from the darker back and shoulders, which are the areas to fill if you want the bird to read as a penguin at a glance. Both flippers are outlined as long tapering shapes, and the two feet at the bottom are wide and scalloped along their front edges. The belly is one big open area with just two soft curves suggesting where the wings fall. No ice, no sea and no sky share the sheet with it. A child can finish this in a few minutes, and it makes a good pairing with the other polar sheets on the site if you want to print a small themed set.
