Penguin Coloring Pages

Penguins sledding, skating, fishing through the ice and huddling with their chicks, ready to color. Tap a picture to color it online, or print it for a cozy winter afternoon with crayons.

There are simple penguins with thick lines for little kids, full snowy scenes for school-age kids, and two pattern-filled penguin pages for teens and adults.

Fun facts about penguins

Penguins can't fly, but they are superb swimmers: gentoo penguins reach about 22 miles per hour underwater. Their black and white coat is camouflage, dark from above against the sea and light from below against the sky.

Emperor penguin dads balance the egg on their feet under a warm flap of skin for about two months in the Antarctic winter. Not all penguins live in the cold; some live on warm beaches in South Africa and the Galápagos Islands.

Coloring tips for penguins

Color the back, head and flippers black or dark navy and leave the belly white. Emperor and king penguins have bright yellow-orange patches on the neck and an orange stripe on the beak, and chicks are fluffy gray.

Icy scenes look great in pale blues and lilacs with white snow left uncolored. Add bright colors to hats, scarves and presents so they pop. Online, fill the black areas in one tap each, then use the brush for snowflakes.
