Cute Ducklings in a Pond Coloring Page (Free Printable)

Two little ducklings are out for a swim, paddling side by side across a calm pond. They have round heads, tiny wings, and bright open beaks, as if they are chatting as they go. Lily pads float on the water around them, and a water lily blooms in the front. The ducklings are made of simple, rounded shapes that are easy for toddlers and preschoolers to color, usually in sunny yellow with orange beaks. The lily pads and ripples in the water give older kids some extra details to work on with greens and blues. This page suits kids ages two to seven. While your child colors, you can talk about how ducklings follow their mother in a line, how they learn to swim almost right after they hatch, and why duck feathers stay dry in the water. Try counting the lily pads together, or quacking along. For an extension, add a mother duck, a frog on a lily pad, or a few cattails along the edge of the pond.
