Floating on a calm pond, this happy duck has a smooth rounded body, a flat broad beak, and a small wing folded neatly on its back, with gentle ripples spreading out around it and a cattail reed and a flowering lily pad nearby. The big, smooth body shapes make it a relaxing, beginner-friendly page, while the ripples, reed, and lily flower give older artists a small pond scene to bring to life. Ducks have wonderfully waterproof feathers thanks to a special oil they spread while preening, which is how they stay dry even while paddling all day. Their flat beaks are perfect for dabbling along the surface for food. Color the duck a classic white or brown, then make the water a cool blue and the lily flower a soft pink. Print it on US Letter or A4 for a calm afternoon of coloring.

Coloring Tips

  • Cool blue water — color the pond a light blue and follow the ripple lines so the water looks like it's gently moving.
  • Bright beak — a warm orange or yellow beak adds a cheerful pop against the duck's body.
  • Finish the pond plants — give the lily pad a green and its flower a soft pink to complete the little scene.

Frequently asked questions

Why don't ducks get soaked in the water?
Ducks coat their feathers with a special oil while preening, which makes them waterproof and keeps them dry.
What's the tall plant next to the duck?
That's a cattail reed, a plant that grows at the edge of ponds — a perfect background for a floating duck.
