Five Fluffy Chicks Hugged by a Penguin Parent
Coloring guide
A big penguin parent looks down kindly while five fluffy chicks squeeze together in front of it. The parent's long flippers sweep down around the babies in a sort of hug. Every chick has big round eyes, a tiny beak and soft feathery edges. Two chicks stand in the top row, three in the bottom row, and their little feet show at the bottom. Simple ice cliffs rise on both sides of a flat, icy horizon. The parent's large shapes are easy for small hands, and the fuzzy chick outlines are good detail practice for older kids. Soft grey or light blue would suit the chicks, and black with a warm yellow or orange beak the parent. Download the free PDF for a screen-free activity at home.

- 3Use dark gray for the head tops of the upper left chick and the front chick, keeping their round faces white.
- 4Color both icebergs with sky blue, and leave the ice ledges and background white.
