Penguin Taking a Headfirst Dive Off an Icy Ledge
Coloring guide
This little penguin is caught mid-dive, tipping headfirst off an icy cliff toward the water, flippers stretched out and feet kicking up behind. Big round eyes and an open beak make it look thrilled. Down below, a splash bursts from the waves with droplets flying everywhere, and wavy water lines cross the page. A smiling sun with short rays sits in the upper corner, and a small iceberg floats in the distance on the right. The splash and cliff are large shapes that are easy to color, while ripples and rays keep older kids busy with detail. Sky blue and teal work well for the water and splash, and the penguin can stay classic black and white with an orange beak and feet. A free printable for a quiet afternoon or a winter animal lesson. Add this to your Penguin coloring page collection, alongside Puppies and Cats.

- slate blue
- caramel brown
- light gray
- golden yellow
- grass green
- orange
- sky blue
A suggested order, zone by zone — skip around as you like.
- 1Start with the sun: fill the round center and rays with golden yellow, and leave the smiling face lines unfilled.
- 2Color the cliff with caramel brown, covering the tall rock wall and the lower base, then add the grass cap on top in grass green.
- 3Fill the penguin's body, head, and both wings with slate blue, keeping the white face patch and the two eye whites clear.
- 4Color the iceberg and its rocks in light gray, then fill the flipper tips with orange.
- 5Use sky blue for the splashes in the water, and leave the wave lines and the background white.
- 6Optional: add a few darker slate blue strokes on the penguin's body for shading, and draw black pupils in the eyes last.
