Penguins Trading a Valentine's Day Gift on the Ice
Coloring guide
One penguin holds out a heart-shaped gift box tied with a bow, and the other penguin clasps both flippers together in happy surprise. They stand on a chunky block of ice in rippling water, with small icy peaks in the background on both sides. The penguin on the right has long eyelashes and a bow on her head. Four snowflakes and a few hearts of different sizes drift in the sky above. Shapes are big and outlines are clean, so younger kids can color comfortably, while the waves and snowflakes give older kids some detail to work on. Soft pink and red suit the gift box and bow, and icy blues go nicely on the water and snowflakes. This free printable PDF is handy for classroom time or a rainy day.
