Friendship & Feelings Penguin Coloring Pages

Coloring page story

Pip found the most beautiful pebble. It was smooth and grey with a sparkly stripe. He wanted to give it to his best friend, Penny. But when he found Penny, she was already playing with another penguin, Finn. They were laughing. Pip's heart felt a little bit sad. He thought, "Maybe she doesn't want my pebble." He waddled away and hid the pebble behind his back. Penny saw him. "Pip, what's wrong?" she asked. "I... I thought you had a new best friend," whispered Pip. Penny shook her head. "Finn is my cousin! You are my best friend." Pip’s heart felt warm again. He showed her the pebble. "For you," he said. Penny gasped. "It's the shiniest pebble ever! Thank you!" They put the pebble between them and huddled close.

Coloring page Age Appropriateness

The 'Cute Animal Cartoon' style with its simple expressions clearly conveys the story's emotional arc—from sadness to happiness—which is a key learning area for 3-5 year olds. The uncluttered composition allows children to focus on the central theme of friendship. The large pebble is a fun, central element that children will delight in coloring.

Maybe you can use a glitter crayon! Let's give Pip and Penny their colors, and you can make the ground they are sitting on look like snow or sand.

Coloring Page Printing Tips

Print this page on slightly thicker paper to make the 'shiny' pebble feel more substantial when colored. Standard printer settings are perfect. Having this heartwarming penguin scene ready can be a great way to start a conversation about feelings with your child.

Glitter crayons or glitter glue (with supervision!) would be perfect for making the pebble's stripe truly shine. Regular crayons or colored pencils are great for the penguins themselves. Using different tools can make the experience of coloring this penguin page even more special.
