Penguin Family Near the Sea Colouring Page

Two adult penguins stand with two fluffy chicks near the sea. The adults face towards the little birds on the snowy shore, forming a close family group. Calm ripples and a distant piece of floating ice complete the simple coastal scene. How to colour: Colour the adults' heads, backs and outer flippers charcoal black, their ear patches golden yellow and their upper chests pale lemon yellow. Leave their bellies white. Give the chicks silver-grey down, charcoal head caps and white cheek patches. Use slate-grey feet and bills, adding orange stripes to the adult bills. Colour the sea turquoise blue and the snow shadows pale ice blue. Use smooth layers on the adults, short soft strokes on the chicks and gentle horizontal strokes across the sea.
