Directions

1. Color the Penguins: Start by giving each child a penguin coloring page. Let them color the penguins in their favorite shades, encouraging them to make each one unique.
2. Create a Penguin World: While the kids are coloring, prepare a large sheet of paper or a poster board to be the ‘Penguin World’. This could be an Antarctic landscape, a zoo, or a fantastical ice kingdom – let the kids decide.
3. Story Elements: Once the penguins are colored, ask the children to think about the character of each penguin. What’s its name? Does it have any special powers or a particular role in the Penguin World?
4. Assemble the Scene: Cut out the colored penguins and help the kids place and glue their characters onto the Penguin World. They can create scenes, interactions, and even adventures.
5. Storytelling Time: Gather around the Penguin World and encourage each child to tell a short story about their penguin. It could be an adventure, a day in the life of the penguin, or a magical tale.
6. Interactive Play: Once all the stories are told, the Penguin World can be used for imaginative play, where the children bring their stories to life.

All About Penguins

Penguins are cute, flightless birds that are famous for their waddling walk and tuxedo-like feathers. There are 18 different species of penguins, and they live in the Southern Hemisphere, mainly in Antarctica. Penguins have a special layer of fat called blubber, which helps them stay warm in their icy habitat.

Penguins are excellent swimmers and divers, and they use their wings to “fly” through the water. They can swim at speeds of up to 22 miles per hour! Penguins also like to slide on their bellies across the ice, a behavior called tobogganing, which is a fun way to travel around their colony.

Some species of penguins are very social and live in large groups called colonies, while others prefer to live in smaller groups.

Penguins eat mostly fish, squid, and krill. They use their beaks to catch and swallow their prey whole. Penguins also have a unique way of caring for their eggs and chicks. Instead of building nests, they hold their eggs and chicks on their feet and cover them with a flap of skin called a brood patch.

Our penguin coloring pages are a fun way to learn more about penguins and their interesting behaviors. You can use any colors you want to create your adorable penguin picture!
