Who this is
Nino is the penguin, upright and neat, with a diamond-shaped beak and flippers held close to his sides.
What is in the picture
The front panel down his middle is one of the largest areas in the whole set and is meant to be left pale while everything around it goes dark. That contrast is the entire picture, and it works even when a child picks colours no penguin ever had.
Colouring it with a toddler
Say "dark outside, light in the middle" once at the start. It is the only instruction this page needs.
Thick crayons beat pencils at this age — they need no grip strength and they do not break when a child leans on them. Expect the first few attempts to be one colour scribbled across everything; staying inside a line comes later, and it comes on its own.
Colour it on screen instead
Nino is also in the PlayKiko colouring game, where tapping an area fills it and nothing goes outside the lines. Useful on a train, where crayons are a mistake.
