Let’s have some fun drawing a mom and baby penguin together! Get your markers and paper ready, and let’s start creating some cute penguins!
First, draw a small circle on the right side of your paper. This will be the baby penguin’s head.
Next, make a U-shape under the head. This will be the baby penguin’s body.
For the face, draw a “V” in the middle of the head for the beak. Then, add two circles for the eyes. Inside each eye, draw a smaller circle in the top left corner and color the bigger circle, leaving the smaller one white.
Draw a curve on each side of the body to make the flippers. They should look like little arms.
Put a small dot above the beak. Draw a curve around each eye and color the area above the eyes.
Draw a small line at the bottom of the body on both sides. Then, make a bumpy line to form the feet.
Draw a bigger circle above the baby penguin for the mom’s head.
From the mom’s head, draw a line that curves down to the baby penguin, like she’s giving a hug.
Draw the mom’s face lower on her head to show she’s looking at her baby. Add a beak and bigger eyes. You can add eyelashes if you like.
Make a guide point on top of the mom’s head. Draw a curve over each eye and connect it to the cheek. Color the top of her head black.
Draw an upside-down U shape for the mom’s belly, connecting it to the baby penguin’s head.
Draw the mom’s flippers with diagonal lines touching the baby penguin’s head. For the feet, make one foot bigger and hide the other behind the baby.
Now it’s time to color your penguins! Use your favorite colors and add a background or more penguins if you want. Take your time and have fun!
Great job! You’ve drawn and colored a mom and baby penguin. Remember, the best part is having fun and being creative. We hope you enjoyed drawing with us and can’t wait to see your amazing penguin art!
Penguin Observation Walk: Take a walk outside or look out your window and try to spot birds or animals. Notice how they move and interact with each other. Think about how a mom and baby penguin might move together. Can you waddle like a penguin? Try to mimic their movements and imagine how they would look in your drawing.
Create a Penguin Story: Use your drawing of the mom and baby penguin to create a short story. What adventure do they go on? What do they see and do? Write a few sentences or tell your story to a family member or friend. You can even draw more pictures to go along with your story!
Penguin Habitat Exploration: Research where penguins live and what their homes look like. Use materials like cotton balls, paper, or clay to create a small model of a penguin habitat. Think about what your penguins need to stay warm and safe. Share your habitat with your class or family and explain why you included certain features.
