Percy & Polly's Ice Cream Friendship Coloring Pages

Coloring page story

Percy the Penguin lived in the snow, so he loved cold things. His favorite food was a fish-flavored ice cream cone (a penguin favorite!). The only problem was, his flippers were very slippery.

He would hold his cone, and whoops! It would slide right out of his flipper and onto the snow. He tried again. Whoops! It happened again.

Percy sat down with a sad little squawk. His friend, Polly, waddled over. "Let's hold it together!" she said. So Percy held one side of the cone, and Polly held the other. They shared the whole thing, lick for lick, and it didn't fall once. Ice cream, they decided, is always better with a friend.

Coloring page Age Appropriateness

This design is perfect for the 3-4 age group. The 'chibi' style penguins are adorable and appealing. The symmetrical composition is balanced and easy for a child to understand. The theme of two friends sharing one object is a clear and simple visual that reinforces the story's message of friendship and cooperation, which is a key social skill for this age.

Coloring Page Printing Tips

Print on standard white paper for a crisp, clean look. The simple lines and shapes don't require high-quality settings. This is a great page to print two copies of, so siblings or friends can color the same picture together, just like Percy and Polly!

Recommended Tools

Twistable crayons are great for this page, as they provide a sharp point for the smaller snowflakes and a broad side for the penguins' bodies. They are also less messy than markers. The simple shapes and clear outlines make this a very satisfying page to color with any tool.
