Tips for Coloring These Baby Penguin Pages
These pages mix big bold shapes with detailed snowy scenes, so crayons work great for the simple portraits, while colored pencils give more control on the aurora sky and ice crystal pages.
Pro Tip: Want fluffy-looking feathers? Use short, quick strokes all going the same direction instead of coloring in circles—it makes the penguin chick look soft and warm! For the ice, leave some white spots and shade lightly with blue around them to create a shiny, frozen look.
