Mother Duck and Ducklings on a Spring Pond

Gliding over a calm pond, a smiling mother duck leads four little ducklings paddling right behind her. Each one has a big eye and a tiny open beak, and soft ripple lines circle the babies in the water. Along the banks are tall cattails, a small patch of daisy-like flowers with grassy tufts and rounded bushes in the background. Up front, two water lilies bloom on large lily pads, and another empty pad floats nearby. The mother duck's wing feathers are drawn in big, easy shapes, so young children learning to stay inside the lines will do well, while the flowers and cattails give older kids smaller details. Bright yellow ducklings, soft orange beaks and pale pink water lily petals look lovely. This free printable suits a quiet afternoon at home or a classroom nature activity. This fits right in with our Spring coloring pages — see also Jesus / Bible and Flowers.
