Children notice the orange webbed feet and the quack. Ask why webbed feet help a duck swim. Wild mallard males have a shiny green head, a white neck ring and a brown chest, while females are speckled brown. Farm ducks are often white. Ducks fit spring lessons and pond or wetland units well.
Make water look wet by coloring blue in wavy lines around the duck rather than solid, then adding a few short white crayon lines for ripples before coloring over them.

Questions parents and teachers ask
What colors are real ducks?
Male mallards have green heads, a white neck ring and brown chests. Female mallards are speckled brown, and many farm ducks are white with orange bills and feet.
What is the difference between a duck and a goose?
Geese are larger with longer necks, and they often graze on grass. Ducks are smaller with flatter bills and spend more time on the water.
Are duck pages good for a spring or pond theme?
Yes. Ducks and ducklings fit spring, baby animals and pond life lessons, and they are easy to pair with frogs, fish and lily pads.
