Little Duck on a Forest Stream With Dragonflies
Coloring guide
On a calm woodland stream, a little duck floats along with a friendly smile while two dragonflies hover above the water. Flat stepping stones cross the stream toward a small waterfall in the distance, and rounded boulders line both banks. Tall leafy trees frame the scene, with pines and bushes farther back. Wide-leaved grasses and clusters of simple flowers fill the foreground corners, giving little hands plenty of petals to color. Big shapes like the duck and rocks mix with smaller details like leaves and ripples, so it works for a range of ages. Soft yellow with an orange beak suits the duck, and bright greens and blues look good on the dragonfly wings. Save it as a free PDF, no sign-up needed.
