16 Duckling Coloring Pages
Ducklings can walk, swim and follow their mother within a day of hatching. They form a strong bond with the first moving thing they see, usually their mother, a behavior called imprinting. Their soft down is not fully waterproof at first, so they stay close to mom, who helps keep them warm and dry. This set is all about these fluffy babies. A duckling sits in a nest, floats on a lily pad, perches on a mushroom and peeks out of a flower pot. Another holds a balloon, and one chubby duckling poses like a little hero. A baby duckling and two cute cartoon ducklings complete the set. Mallard ducklings are brown and yellow with a dark eye stripe, while domestic ducklings are often bright yellow. Orange bills and feet finish the look. Soft, fluffy strokes in yellow make the down look cuddly. These pages suit toddlers and preschoolers in spring, and pair nicely with the story Make Way for Ducklings.
Fluffy ducklings on their own
The resting duckling page shows a fuzzy duckling lying on its tummy with its feet stretched out, a calm pick for ages 4 to 7. Cute Duckling stands facing forward with layered wing feathers and a tufted chest. Cute Duckling Character waves one wing and wears a striped scarf, with smooth outlines that suit kids around 3 to 6 who want a quick and happy page.
A duck family and a pond picture
Duckling with Mom is the simplest page, with a tall mother duck and a small duckling walking side by side. After coloring, glue the ducks onto a large sheet of blue paper, add cut-out green reeds and lily pads, and draw ripples around them to build a pond scene. Kids can add more ducklings to make a whole family line swimming across the water.
