Little Penguin Swimming Underwater Beside Fish
Coloring guide
A smiling baby penguin glides through the water with flippers stretched wide and little feet kicking behind, clearly thrilled to be swimming. Two round-bodied striped fish swim close by, one on each side, with small bubbles floating up around all three. A wavy line across the top marks the water's surface, and three flat chunks of ice drift above it. Down at the bottom, tall wavy seaweed and a few smooth rocks rest on the sea floor. Big eyes, an open beak and a tuft of feathers on its head give the penguin lots of personality. Large shapes and bold lines suit preschoolers and early elementary kids still building pencil control. Deep blue water, a gray or navy back, and orange for the beak and fish stripes look great. Print it free for a quiet afternoon or a classroom ocean theme. Looking for more?
