Standing Penguin in a Scarf Coloring Page

Penguin coloring page2 levels

A thick scarf wraps the neck of this standing penguin, and its loose end hangs down the right side of the oval belly. Above it, a heart-shaped patch frames the face, with two big eyes set in rings and a triangle beak below them. The penguin faces forward with its feet together. Two flippers rest against the body, and each oval foot has two short toe lines.

Thirteen areas make up the picture at both levels. The beak and the eye rings are the smallest, and on the easy page bold outlines keep them easy to see for ages 3 to 5. Thinner lines on the standard page suit colored pencils and ages 6 to 8. A4 and US Letter paper get the drawing at the same size, as long as the file prints at 100 percent and not fit to page.

Frequently asked questions

How many areas does the penguin have to color?

Thirteen on both versions. The largest are the belly, the outer body and the head, and the smallest are the beak and the two white rings around the eyes.

What can a child add around the penguin?

A hat, falling snow or a fish to hold are all simple to draw in the space around it.

Which colors work well for the scarf?

Any color works, because the body is usually black and white. Red, blue or purple stand out well, and stripes are easy to add across the wide band at the neck.
