What's In This Picture
Looking at this page, you will find a large, thick letter P dominating the background. It has plenty of open space inside for bold colors or even small patterns. Right in front of the letter stands a cute cartoon penguin. The penguin has large, expressive eyes and a small beak, giving it a very sweet and playful personality. Its flippers are positioned at its sides as if it is ready to waddle right off the page.
The simple lines make it easy to see where the white belly ends and the darker feathers begin. The penguin is positioned slightly to the right, creating a nice sense of depth as it overlaps the letter. There are no complicated backgrounds, which keeps the focus entirely on the main subjects and makes the coloring process very relaxing.
Coloring Tips
For the penguin, you might choose classic black and white, but do not feel limited to those colors. A deep navy blue or a soft charcoal grey can give the feathers a unique look. Use a bright orange or yellow for the beak and feet to make them pop against the cooler body colors. If you want to make the penguin look extra soft, you can use light circular strokes with a colored pencil on its belly.
The large letter P is a great place to experiment with textures. You could use a sponge to dab on paint or use crayons to create a gradient from top to bottom. If you want to get really fancy, try adding some tiny hand-drawn snowflakes around the penguin to create a wintry atmosphere. Using a glitter pen on the letter could also make the whole page feel magical and bright.
Did You Know?
Did you know that penguins do not have any teeth? Instead, they have fleshy spines inside their mouths and on their tongues that help them grip slippery fish. Even though they cannot fly in the air, they are incredible swimmers and can stay underwater for several minutes at a time while they hunt for their dinner.
Try This!
After coloring, try thinking of other words that start with the letter P, like popcorn, pizza, or pajamas. You can write these words around the edge of the page to practice spelling and vocabulary. You might also want to draw some ice cubes or a small fish for the penguin to enjoy as a snack.
