Why Kids Love This Duck Family
Mother Duck wears a bow on her head and waddles proudly in front. Right behind her, five little ducklings crowd together – just right for counting. On the left is a pond with cattails, on the right flowers bloom, and up top the sun and clouds shine over three trees. The wide path winds through the whole picture and makes a nice big area to fill.

All About Ducklings
After hatching, ducklings follow the first thing they see – usually their mom. That’s why they trail behind her wherever she goes. The mother duck sits on her eggs for about 28 days before they hatch. A nest often holds 8 to 14 eggs. And a male duck has his own name: a drake.
What to Do with Your Finished Duck Family
Give every duckling a name and tell where the family is headed. Or cut ducklings out of yellow paper and line them up on the windowsill behind their mom.
