Platypus coloring pages

Platypuses are the kind of animals that make kids say, “Wait… what is that?”—and that’s exactly why platypus coloring pages are so much fun. With a duck-like beak, webbed feet, and a flat tail, this animal feels more like a storybook character than something real.

Covered in soft fur, the platypus moves slowly and clumsily on land, but once it enters the water, it becomes a fast and graceful swimmer. It can stay underwater for several minutes while searching for insects and tiny creatures in rivers and lakes. This mix of awkward and elegant makes it especially interesting to learn about.

These pages give kids a chance to play with unusual shapes and experiment with color choices. Some children stick to browns and earthy tones, while others turn their platypus into something bright and imaginary. All sheets are available as free printables, so they’re easy to save, print, and enjoy anytime.
