Activities to Do With Penguin Coloring Pages

Don’t let the fun stop once the coloring is done. You can use these sheets to create engaging crafts and educational activities. Here are a few creative ideas to try with your kids.

Create A 3D Arctic Diorama

Turn a shoebox into a winter wonderland. Have your child color and cut out several penguins. glue them onto cardstock to make them stiff, then stand them up inside a shoebox lined with white paper and cotton balls for snow. You can even add blue cellophane for icy water.

Design Fuzzy Bellies

Add a tactile element to your art. After coloring the black parts of the penguin, use glue to attach cotton balls or white pom-poms to the penguin’s stomach. This makes the artwork pop and gives the penguin a soft, fluffy texture that toddlers love to touch.

Make Popsicle Stick Puppets

Transform your coloring pages into characters for a show. Cut out the finished penguins and tape a popsicle stick to the back of each one. Kids can hide behind the sofa and put on a “Penguin Parade” puppet show, inventing stories about life in the Antarctic.

Penguin Fact Matching Game

Combine art with science. Print out pairs of penguins and write a different penguin fact on the back of each one (e.g., “Emperor penguins are the tallest”). Use them as flashcards or a memory matching game to teach kids about biology while they play.

Holiday Greeting Cards

Use the festive coloring pages to make personalized cards. Print the Christmas or Valentine’s themed penguins at a smaller size. Color them in, cut them out, and paste them onto folded cardstock. Add some glitter for snow and write a warm message inside for family and friends.

FAQs

Are All Penguins Black And White?

Most penguins are black and white, but they often have other colors too. For example, King and Emperor penguins have splashes of yellow and orange on their heads and necks, while Little Blue Penguins have a bluish tint to their feathers.

What Supplies Work Best For Coloring Penguins?

For the black feathers, crayons or colored pencils work well to get a deep, dark color. If you want to paint, make sure to print the pages on cardstock so the paper doesn’t curl. You can also use white chalk or crayons to add highlights to the snow.

Do Penguins Only Live In The Ice?

Not all of them. While we usually think of penguins in Antarctica, some species live in warmer climates. The Galapagos Penguin lives near the equator, and African Penguins live on sandy beaches in South Africa.

Are These Coloring Pages Free To Print?

Yes, all the coloring pages on this list are completely free for personal use. You can print as many copies as you like for your classroom, homeschooling lessons, or just for a fun afternoon activity.

How Can I Make The Snow Look Realistic?

Since paper is already white, coloring snow can be tricky. Try using light blue or pale gray crayons to shade the edges of the snowbanks and icebergs. This adds depth and makes the white parts look like real snow.
