Tufted Pelican in Profile Next to Letter P

A pelican stands in profile facing left, with a long flat bill that has a small hook at the tip and a pouch line along the lower edge. Its head has a few tufted feathers on top and a small round eye with shading behind it. The neck curves down into a rounded body, and the wing shows layered feathers with lines near the tail. Two webbed feet are planted at the bottom. Beside the bird is a large outlined capital letter P with plenty of open space inside, and the word Pelican is printed in small letters at the lower left. This page works well for letter recognition practice. Have kids say the word Pelican aloud, point out that it begins with P, and then color the big P in one bright color and the bird in soft grays, tans, or whites. The printable outline is easy to trace for early writers too.
