What's In This Picture
Look closely and you will find a large, friendly polar bear resting comfortably next to a small penguin. Both friends are holding mugs filled with a tasty hot beverage, and you can see the steam curling up into the chilly air. They are floating on a sturdy ice floe surrounded by calm water.
In the distance, jagged mountains rise up toward soft, fluffy clouds that fill the sky. Every part of this scene, from the bear's thick fur to the penguin's sleek feathers, is ready for your favorite colors. The simple lines make it easy to focus on the expressive faces of these two unlikely best friends.
Coloring Tips
For the polar bear, you might use very light blues or purples in the shadows to make the white fur pop. The penguin looks classic in black and white, but you can add a splash of orange or yellow to its beak and feet. Since they are drinking something warm, try using bright, festive colors for the mugs, like red, green, or even a sunny yellow.
The mountains look great with shades of gray and blue, and you can leave some white patches to represent snow on the peaks. Using a light touch with a blue crayon can help the water look cold and deep, while the clouds can be left white or given a hint of pink like a winter sunset.
Did You Know?
Did you know that polar bears and penguins never actually meet in the wild? Polar bears live in the Arctic at the North Pole, while penguins live in the Antarctic at the South Pole. This coloring page is a special place where these two cold-weather friends can finally hang out and enjoy a snack together.
Try This!
After coloring, you could write a short story about what the bear and penguin are talking about while they sip their cocoa. You might also want to try making your own real mug of hot chocolate to enjoy while you finish the background details of the snowy mountains.
