About this page
About this penguin coloring page for kids
A penguin stands at the edge of the ice on this coloring page, with two stiff flippers at his sides, a pointed beak, a short tail, and two webbed feet. A penguin is a bird and not a fish: he has feathers, he lays eggs, and he cannot fly, but he swims strongly through cold ocean water to catch his food. That unusual mix of bird features and ocean life makes the penguin a helpful animal for a preschooler to describe, and the broad black-and-white shapes keep the page easy to color.
