Duckling in Rain Boots
Dottie the duckling is dressed for a puddle-jumping day. Her boots are a little too big, but that makes stomping even more fun. She stretches out her wings and gets ready for one enormous splash. Decorate Dottie’s boots with your brightest, silliest colors!
Dottie’s Big Boot Adventure
Dottie is ready for a rainy-day parade in her extra-big rain boots! Her wings are stretched wide, and she looks as though she is about to make the biggest splash ever. Imagine the puddle beneath her boots going splish, splash, splosh. You could draw raindrops, a wiggly worm, or a tiny paper boat nearby. This duckling has turned a cloudy day into a very silly adventure.
Make Those Boots Bright
Rain boots are perfect for bold colors and funny patterns. Try sunny yellow boots with red polka dots, purple boots with green zigzags, or blue boots covered in little stars. Color Dottie’s feathers soft yellow, with an orange beak and orange webbed feet peeking out. A pale gray sky, blue raindrops, and a shiny silver puddle will help show that it is wet outside. Don’t forget a rainbow if the rain is ending!
Duckling Rainy-Day Facts
Ducklings have fluffy feathers called down when they are very young. As they grow, they get waterproof feathers that help them stay dry while swimming. Ducks also have webbed feet, which work a bit like paddles in the water. Their feet do not have feathers on them, so ducks can stand in chilly water without getting cold feet the way people do. What clever little water birds!
