Leaping Duck Splashing Through the Pond
Coloring guide
Out of the water leaps a cheerful duckling, both wings stretched wide and its beak open in a big smile. Its webbed feet kick up droplets and ripples on the pond below, and a small tuft of feathers curls on its head. Tall cattails and grass fill the left and right edges, and soft hills and bushes sit far behind the water. The big wings have rounded feather tips that are easy to fill in, and the splash lines are a fun place to practice small details. Sunny yellow for the duckling, orange for the beak and feet, and light blues and teals for the pond all work well. This free coloring page prints easily, so keep a few spare copies on hand.
