Mallard Duck Printable Colouring

Meet this friendly Mallard Duck, a familiar pond bird with a broad bill, plump body, webbed feet and a tiny curl at the end of its tail. Mallards are dabbling ducks, which means they often tip forward in shallow water to reach plants and small snacks below the surface. Children can colour the male duck's rounded head shiny emerald or forest green, add a narrow white neck ring, and make the chest warm chestnut brown. Use soft silver-grey or beige on the sides, darker brown and black on the back and curled tail, and bright blue or purple for the special wing patch. Colour the bill golden yellow, the feet cheerful orange, the cattails brown with green stems, and the lily pads fresh green. Add pale blue around the water ripples and sky, leave the eye sparkle white, and use smooth strokes that follow the rounded shape of the feathers.
