Why this penguin party is so funny
Three penguins stand close together on a chunky ice floe floating in the water. The two on the outside wave their flippers, while the middle one blows a curly party horn. Each wears a different hat: striped, striped with a pom-pom and starry. The loose doodle style with round bellies and clean lines is quick and fun to color.
🖨️ Step by Step: How to Print It Best

Letter or A4 in portrait, scaling set to “Fit to page” – the picture fits the sheet perfectly.

Where penguins would really party
Penguins live almost only in the Southern Hemisphere, for example in Antarctica – there are none at the North Pole! They can't fly, but they're amazing swimmers and use their wings like flippers. Here's a fun twist: when it's winter in North America on New Year's Eve, it's summer in the Southern Hemisphere. People do something penguin-like, too: the New Year's Day plunge, when brave grown-ups in places like the Netherlands and Britain jump into icy water on January 1.
