Picnic Time with Mother Duck in a Flower Hat

Coloring guide
Mother duck sits on a checkered picnic blanket, smiling under a wide-brimmed straw hat with a flower-covered bow, and three little ducklings gather around her. Beside her, a woven basket holds grapes, apples and what looks like a loaf of bread, with a checkered cloth tucked in the side. One duckling stands on the blanket at the left, another perches near the basket on the right, and the third waddles along the bottom. In the background you'll see a blooming tree with big blossoms, a wooden fence, a lake, distant trees, puffy clouds, and lots of tulips and daisies in the grass. Big shapes mixed with small flower details suit a range of ages. Soft yellow ducklings, a pastel pink or lavender hat ribbon, and bright red and green fruit would look lovely. Print or download it free for school time or a rainy day. Looking for more? Our Seals & Sea Lions and Reptiles coloring pages pair nicely with this Duck page.

- 1Start with the sky: color it sky blue and leave the fluffy clouds white.
- 2Color the lake sky blue, then fill the grass and bushes with grass green and the pine trees and leafy tree tops with forest green.
- 3Paint the tree trunk bark brown and the picnic blanket cream with coral red checks, adding peach shadows along the folds.
- 4Color the mother duck's hat straw gold with a rose red ribbon and bow, and make the duck's beak and feet orange while keeping the body, wing and eyes white.
- 5Give the ducklings golden yellow bodies, paint the apples bright red and the baguette straw gold, and keep the blossom flowers white.
- 6Optional: Add a little extra shade with a slightly darker tone along the edges of the grass and blanket for depth.
