Letter P Is for Penguin Coloring Page

A hollow capital P and a hollow lowercase p sit at the top of this page, and a penguin stands below on two webbed feet with its flippers at its sides. P is a straightforward letter in its capital form, an upright spine with one bowl at the top, and it is the same skeleton as B with the lower bowl removed. The lowercase p keeps that single bowl but drops its stem below the writing line, which puts it in the same family as g, j, q and y elsewhere in this set. Pointing out that group is a quick way to make five letters feel like one rule. The penguin below is drawn as a few large closed shapes with a clear division down the body, so a child can colour the back dark and leave the front white and end up with something that actually looks like a penguin. That small success matters. Print it for an alphabet unit, a polar or winter topic, or a page about animals that swim but do not fly.
