Lilies floating on the water, a barn in the back and a big grin on its face – this duck coloring page shows every farm duck’s favorite hangout. Print this free farm coloring page and fill the pond with cool, fresh colors.
Why Kids Love This Pond Duck
The duck stands right at the front with a wide bill, a clear neck ring and nicely drawn wing feathers. Three water lilies float on their pads, and tall cattails grow on the left. Behind the pond rise a plank barn, a round silo, a crooked picket fence and puffy bushes. Wood grain, ripples and petals give older kids plenty of detail to dig into.

Fun Facts About Ducks and Ponds
Farm ducks absolutely love water – for bathing, preening and finding food. When they dabble, they dip their head under the surface and stick their tail straight up. Down there they find water plants, snails, worms and insects. Ducks don’t get cold feet in chilly water, because the blood in their legs cleverly saves heat. A farm pond is basically a duck’s private swimming pool.
What to Do with Your Finished Pond Duck
Glue pink tissue paper petals onto the water lilies for a fun 3D effect. Or make up a story about who else visits the pond behind the barn after dark.
