Pip the penguin is taking his very first sled ride. He lifts his flippers and giggles as the sled glides down the hill. The chilly breeze tickles his round tummy. Color Pip and his sled for a wonderful winter adventure!
Pip the penguin is zooming down a snowy hill on a sled, and he can hardly stop giggling. His flippers are raised high as the chilly breeze whisks past his round tummy. This is no quiet rideβPip looks thrilled by every bump and swoosh! The hill, sled, and winter air all leave room for your imagination. Will Pip be racing toward a snowy finish line or another exciting hill?
Give Pip a black back and flippers, then color his belly white or very pale gray. His beak can be orange or yellow, and his little feet may be bright orange too. Choose red, blue, green, or purple for the sled so it pops against the snow. Shade the hill pale blue and add darker blue lines where the sled has rushed through. A soft gray sky can make Pipβs colors shine.
Penguins are birds, but they cannot fly through the air like most birds. Instead, their flippers help them swim quickly underwater. Some penguins slide on their bellies across snow or ice; this is called tobogganing. It helps them travel while using less energy than walking. Penguins have feathers, even though their smooth outer feathers can look a little like fur. Their black-and-white coloring helps them blend in underwater.
