Why Little Ones Love This Duckling
The duckling sits on its bottom with two big webbed feet sticking out in front – it looks adorably silly. Its wide bill is smiling, a tiny tuft sticks up on top, and a little wing rests at its side. The tummy and head are big, calm spaces to color. The bold outer line makes it extra easy.

All About Ducklings
Ducklings hatch after about four weeks in the egg. Right away, they follow the first thing they see – usually their mom. That’s why ducklings often waddle behind their mother in a neat little line. Grown-up ducks spread oil from a gland near their tail over their feathers so water rolls right off. And their webbed feet work like tiny paddles in the pond.
Fun Ideas for Your Finished Duckling
Paint a blue pond on another sheet and glue your cut-out duckling on top. Print a few copies and line them up for a whole duck parade.
