Penguin Shaking Water Off Its Feathers Coloring Page

Fresh out of the sea, this penguin has planted both feet on a low patch of ice and is shaking itself off. Its eyes are shut, its beak is tipped upward, and a scatter of separate teardrop shapes flies away from its body on either side. The pose is easy to read at a glance, which matters for very young children who want to know what they are looking at before they choose a crayon. Lines here are thick and confident. The body is a single tall oval, the flipper is one clean curve laid across it, and the ice underfoot is a simple flat shape with no texture inside it. That leaves five or six large regions to fill and a handful of tiny droplets for anyone who enjoys picking off the small pieces last. The droplets are a good excuse to bring in a second color, since leaving them pale against a darker bird reads as water in motion. Print it on ordinary paper and it works for crayons or thick markers alike.
