Penguin Coloring Page Prize Ideas for Kids

We like to keep penguin coloring time fun and relaxed, not like homework. Sometimes we turn it into a little “penguin challenge” and tell the kids that when they finish a page they’re really proud of, they can choose a small prize from our penguin prize list. The prize doesn’t have to be big or expensive. It can be something simple, like:

taking a trip to see real penguins at a local zoo or aquarium,
reading “Penguins (National Geographic Kids Readers)” together to learn fun facts about their favorite animal,
or letting them pick a small penguin-themed treat or toy from the dollar store.

You can create your own “penguin prize box” with whatever fits your budget, dollar store surprises, a special book, a soft plush, or one small experience that makes penguin coloring feel extra magical for your kids.

Penguin Facts for Kids

Where do penguins live?
Mostly in Antarctica and nearby sub-Antarctic islands, but some species live farther north, including the Galápagos, New Zealand, and South Africa.

What are penguins?
They’re aquatic birds that don’t fly. Their “wings” are flippers, which help them swim fast—some species reach about 15 mph in the water.

How long do penguins live?
Many live around 15–20 years, depending on the species and environment.

How do penguins sound?
Each penguin has a unique call. Parents and mates learn those voices so they can find each other in crowded colonies.

Explore easy outlines for kids and more detailed scenes for adult who like to shade and blend. Choose single penguins, parent-and-chick moments, or group waddles in soft winter settings. Try simple templates and clean outlines, then add scarves, hats, and tiny fish for extra charm. Seasonal fans can color penguins with Christmas lights, ornaments, and cozy cabins, while others can keep it minimal and cute. Each page is sized for standard letter printer paper (8.5 × 11 inches) and prints cleanly on A4. Every file is free and available as a PDF. Download and print at home in minutes.

8 Crafts and Activities with Penguin Coloring Sheets

Penguin Gift Bags
Color a favorite penguin and cut it out. Glue it to a plain gift bag or small box. Add a paper snowflake or ribbon for a simple, cute finish.

Pop-Up Penguin Cards
Fold a piece of cardstock into a card. Cut a short slit on the fold and push it inward to make a step. Glue a small penguin on the step and write a cozy winter note inside.

Penguin Window Garland
Print a few small penguins and back them with light cardstock. Clip them to twine with mini clothespins and hang across a window or shelf.

Penguin Storyboard Panel
Paste a colored penguin picture on one half of a folded poster sheet. On the other half, write a short story about the scene and include one true penguin fact.

Penguin Bookmarks
Trim a tall penguin strip and laminate if you can. Punch a top hole and tie on ribbon or yarn. Perfect for winter reading time.

Cotton-Belly Penguins
Color the beak, feet, and scarf. Fill the belly area with small cotton balls and glue them down for a soft, fluffy look.

Toilet-Paper-Roll Penguins
Wrap a TP roll with black paper. Add a white oval belly, then glue on a colored penguin head, feet, and wings. Draw eyes or add googly eyes.

Paper-Plate Ice Scene
Paint a paper plate light blue. Glue an iceberg cut from white cardstock near the edge. Add colored penguin cutouts and dot falling snow with a white paint pen.

Mom’s Tip: For our kids, we like to use these penguin coloring pages to practice drawing too, not just coloring. First, we put the page on a light up tracing pad and let them trace the cute penguin slowly. Then we give them a blank sketchbook for kids and they try drawing the same penguin on their own. It’s a simple way to build real drawing confidence.
