Penguin Strutting with Bow Tie and Fancy Cane

A smiling penguin struts across the page with one flipper stretched out to the side and the other raised high, holding a fancy cane with a round ball on top. Its big round eyes have little highlight circles, and the beak is open in a wide grin. A large bow tie sits right under the chin, and the belly is a big open area that is easy to color. One foot is lifted mid step, so the penguin looks like it is dancing or marching. This free printable works well for younger kids because the lines are thick and the shapes are large. Try coloring the bow tie in a bright pattern like stripes or polka dots, then give the cane a shiny gold or silver look. Talk with kids about why penguins have black and white feathers.
