Mother Duck and Ducklings Swimming, a Father's Day Page
Coloring guide
A mother duck with a smile and an open beak glides across the pond, and three little ducklings follow her in a tidy line. Her wing has soft feathers, and wavy lines ripple around the whole family. Tall cattails and long grass blades grow from the bank on the right, a small grass tuft pokes out of the water in the bottom corner, and a water lily bloom rests on a round lily pad at the lower left. Big shapes and clear outlines keep it friendly for little hands. It's a free printable that suits a Father's Day card or a quiet afternoon. Bright yellow ducklings, soft orange beaks and rich brown cattails look lovely against light blue water. Add this to your Father's Day coloring page collection, alongside New Year and Halloween.
