What's In This Picture

Looking closely at the page, you will find the large walrus sitting comfortably on an ice floe. He has long, smooth tusks and a friendly face as he wraps a flipper around his small penguin companion. The penguin looks happy and safe tucked into the walrus's side. \n\nBehind them, the vast ocean is filled with floating chunks of ice. Towering icebergs rise from the water, showing off their unique shapes. In the far distance, a range of snow-capped mountains meets the horizon where a large, round sun is shining brightly, casting light across the entire scene. Small ice floes drift nearby, adding detail to the chilly arctic water.

Coloring Tips

To make the walrus stand out, try using different shades of cinnamon brown or tan. You can use a lighter beige for his underbelly and the area around his whiskers. For the penguin, classic charcoal grey or soft blue looks wonderful on its back, leaving the chest area for a bright, clean look.\n\nThe arctic water can be a mix of deep blues and light teals, while the icebergs look great with just a touch of pale blue or lavender along the edges to show shadows. The setting sun is a great chance to use vibrant oranges, yellows, and even a hint of pink in the sky. Try blending the colors of the sky to make a soft transition between the sun and the mountains.

Did You Know?

Did you know that walruses have a very thick layer of blubber to keep them warm in freezing water? This fat can be up to four inches thick! While walruses live in the Arctic and most penguins live in the Southern Hemisphere, they make a very cute team on this page.

Try This!

After you finish coloring, you could give both of these animals names and imagine where they are traveling. You might also try drawing a small fish jumping out of the water or a distant ship on the horizon to add more to their arctic adventure.

Frequently Asked Questions

What colors should I use for the icebergs?
Icebergs often look best with very light blues or even faint purples around the edges to suggest shadows and depth while keeping them looking cold.
Is this page good for younger children?
Yes, the lines are clear and the shapes are large, making it a great choice for children ages 6-8 who are developing their motor skills.
Can I use markers on this page?
Markers work beautifully, especially for the bold sun and the deep blue ocean, but crayons are also excellent for blending the fur and ice textures.
For best results, print on standard letter size (8.5" x 11") paper using your printer's "Fit to Page" setting.
