About these coloring pages
Penguins waddle, slide and swim through these free penguin coloring pages. A fluffy baby penguin and a penguin sliding on its belly are the simplest. A penguin family gathers around a chick, and one penguin ice skates in a scarf and earmuffs. Another sits by a hole in the ice with a fishing rod. Three penguins chase fish underwater, and two emperor penguins keep their chicks warm on the ice. The penguin mandala circles a penguin with rings of snowflakes, fish and waves. Penguins are birds, but they cannot fly. They use their wings as flippers to swim. Almost all wild penguins live south of the equator, and emperor penguins live in Antarctica. Their dark backs and white fronts are easy to color, and many kinds have a patch of yellow or orange near the head or beak. Kids can stick to real colors or invent a rainbow penguin. The baby penguin is a good first page for a toddler. The mandala suits older kids who like detail. These pages fit a winter unit, a lesson on Antarctica or a snowy afternoon.
These library pages are free for personal and classroom use. Read the license.
Printing and coloring tips
- Use black or a very dark blue for the back and leave the belly white. Dark blue looks softer on paper.
- Emperor penguins have a yellow patch by each ear. Add it with a yellow or orange crayon.
- Color the water in two blues, darker at the bottom, so the swimming penguins look deep in the sea.
- Cut out a finished penguin and glue it to a paper cup or a cardboard tube for a standing penguin.
