Penguin Buddies: A Penguin and a Snowman in Matching Scarves
Coloring guide
Shoulder to shoulder stand a smiling baby penguin and a cheerful snowman, each in a striped scarf with fringed ends. The snowman wears a tall top hat and has a carrot nose, two round eyes, a curved smile, three round buttons down his middle and twig arms held high. The penguin has big sparkly eyes, an open beak, a small tuft of hair and one flipper held out to the side. Snowy hills roll across the background, with a few little evergreens dotting the horizon. Shapes are large and lines are clean, which suits preschoolers and early elementary kids. Try red and white stripes on both scarves, then a soft blue on the penguin's back so the pair stand out against the snow. It's a free printable that's easy to print at home or school.
