Penguin with a Scarf and Christmas Tree Coloring Page

This cheerful Christmas coloring page penguin design is a great pick for little hands. The penguin is wearing a cozy scarf and standing right next to a small evergreen tree topped with a star. The tree has a few round ornaments, and the penguin has a friendly, smiling face. The lines are thick and simple, making it easy for children ages 4 to 7 to color without getting frustrated.

Coloring ideas

• Give the penguin its classic black and white look, or try a fun twist with a blue or purple body.
• Color the scarf in a bright holiday shade like red, green, or gold.
• Use different colors for the tree ornaments, or make them all the same color for a matching set.
• Add a snowy background with light blue or gray, and maybe a few snowflakes.

Learning moment

Penguins are birds that live in the Southern Hemisphere, so they actually experience Christmas during their summer. They do not build nests on the ground like many other birds; instead, some species stand on their feet and balance their eggs on their feet, keeping them warm with a special skin fold. Ask your child to draw a penguin family and talk about how they stay warm in the cold.
