Duckling and Lily Pad Easter Egg by the Pond
Coloring guide
Beside a winding pond stands a fluffy duckling with a big bow on its head, smiling down at a decorated Easter egg resting on a floating lily pad. The egg has wavy lines, a row of circles and zigzag bands, so kids get lots of small patterns to fill in. Ripples circle the lily pad, and a tall cluster of cattails with long leaves grows at the water's edge. In the background there are grass tufts and a rounded bush. The duckling has big sparkly eyes, long lashes, webbed feet and a tiny tail tuft. Soft yellow works for the duckling, pink or purple for the bow, and a rainbow of pastel stripes for the egg. This free printable is good for Easter activities at home or in class, with big shapes for little hands and fine details for older kids.
