Duck colouring page
A duck to print on A4 paper or to colour on the screen. Easy
How to use this page
On paper: tap "Print the blank page". Only the picture is printed, with a line for the child's name. On screen: tap a colour, then tap a part of the picture to fill it. "Undo" takes back the last fill, and white rubs a part out. Nothing is saved; the picture is fresh each time you open it.
Colour ideas
Many farm ducks are white with an orange beak and feet. Wild ducks can be brown, or have a green head. Colour the water blue.
Real colours are only a starting point. Ask the child what colour this animal is today and why; a blue cat with green ears has a story behind it. When the animal is done, add where it lives: grass, water, a branch, a night sky.
Things to know about the duck
Read these aloud while the colouring is going on. They are short and true.
- A duck's feet are webbed, like paddles, for swimming.
- Its feathers are oily, so water rolls off and the duck stays dry.
- A baby duck is called a duckling.
- Ducks say "quack".
