Free Puffin Rock Coloring Pages: 20+ printable PDF pages featuring Oona, Baba, Mama, Papa, Otto, May, Mossy, Bernie, Silky, and Flynne across solo portraits, expression pages, and duo and family compositions. All free, download PDF to print, or color online.
Puffin Rock’s characters are drawn directly from Atlantic coastal wildlife, which means the coloring information already exists in the natural world. Oona and her parents are adult puffins: black back and head, clean white chest and face, and vivid orange-red beak and feet. Baba is a puffling: a baby puffin entirely covered in grey-brown downy fluff with a small dull yellow beak, not yet the vivid adult coloring. Honoring that difference between Baba and Oona is the most important coloring decision in the set.
The pages are divided into two types. Solo and expression pages reward careful attention to each creature’s specific natural coloring. Duo and family pages shift the focus to how the different natural palettes of the island’s creatures read alongside each other. All pages in the set are suitable for younger children; the gentleness and simplicity of the Puffin Rock design style make this one of the most accessible coloring sets for toddlers and preschool-age children.
These pages work well at home, in classrooms, or as a creative nature activity. These are fan-made coloring pages and are not official, licensed, or endorsed by Cartoon Saloon, Dog Ears, Netflix, or any rights holder of Puffin Rock.

What’s Inside Puffin Rock Coloring Pages
Oona and Baba Pages
The heart of the set is the puffin siblings: Oona, the young adult puffin, and Baba, her baby brother. They appear together across multiple duo compositions and in solo and expression pages covering Baba’s full emotional range, from joyful and funny to angry, and situational pages showing him in action and meeting island creatures.
Coloring Oona and Baba: the most important coloring distinction in the set is between adult and baby puffin coloring. Oona has the classic Atlantic puffin design: solid black back and head, clean bright white on the chest and lower face, and vivid orange-red beak and feet. Her beak is the warmest and most vivid element in her design, sitting against the flat black of her head for maximum visual impact. Baba is still a puffling and has not developed adult coloring: his body is entirely soft, grey-brown, fluffy down, warm and rounded, with a small dull yellow-grey beak. He has none of the vivid orange-red and none of the clean black-and-white contrast. On any page showing both characters, that color difference communicates their age difference before any other element does.
Mama and Papa Pages
Mama and Papa appear in solo pages and together in two duo compositions showing the parent puffins.
Coloring Mama and Papa: adult puffins all share the same coloring as Oona: black back and head, white chest and face, vivid orange-red beak and feet. On the Mama and Papa duo pages, the two adult birds have the same palette: the visual distinction between them comes from pose, proportion, and expression rather than from any color difference. The clean black-and-white contrast of adult puffin plumage with the vivid orange-red beak reads most clearly when the black areas are placed fully and evenly, and the orange-red is applied at full warm saturation.
Otto and Friends Pages
Otto appears in solo pages and alongside May. May appears with both Otto and Mossy. Mossy appears solo and with May.
Coloring Otto, May, and Mossy: Otto is a puffling friend of Baba with the same grey-brown downy coloring as an unformed baby puffin. May is a small, rabbit-like island creature with soft, warm tones in cream and pale tan. Mossy is a small frog or toad-like character in earthy green, a naturalistic, muted green that sits within the island’s organic palette rather than a vivid cartoon green. On the duo pages, the soft pastel tones of May’s cream and the earthy green of Mossy complement each other and the grey-brown of the puffling characters as elements of the same coastal island palette.
Bernie, Silky, and Other Island Residents Pages
Bernie appears in solo pages and alongside Silky. Silky appears to be swimming with Bernie. Flynne appears on one solo page.
Coloring Bernie, Silky, and Flynne: Bernie is a crab whose warm coral-orange coloring provides one of the few vivid accent tones in the set’s otherwise soft palette. His color sits in the same warm orange family as the adult puffin beak, linking the two characters within the island’s natural color world. Silky is a seal with the grey-cream coloring of an Atlantic grey seal: a smooth, pale grey body with slightly darker markings. Swimming Silky’s pale grey reads softly against any blue water background. Flynne is a small bird friend whose palette fits within the gentle, muted tones of the island’s wider wildlife.

What These Pages Do
Puffin Rock uses real Atlantic coastal wildlife as its design brief, which means the coloring information for every character in the set already exists in the natural world. Working through these pages builds nature-accurate coloring: the discipline of honoring what a living creature actually looks like rather than approximating or inventing. The difference between Baba’s grey-brown puffling down and Oona’s adult coloring introduces, in the most accessible way, the concept that the same species looks different at different life stages. That attentive looking at natural color underlies wildlife illustration, botanical art, and any creative practice rooted in careful observation rather than invention. From here, cartoon coloring pages are the parent hub, and birds coloring pages and Bluey coloring pages offer the closest thematic parallels.
The American Art Therapy Association recognizes that nature-themed creative activities, particularly those rooted in accurate observation of the natural world, have a specific grounding and calming quality that supports focused, attentive engagement across all ages. Puffin Rock’s gentle coastal palette and real-world animal characters invite exactly that quality of attention. The American Academy of Pediatrics strongly supports nature-based creative activities for younger children as a context for developing color recognition, fine motor skills, and early science literacy: identifying the difference between Baba’s baby grey-brown and Oona’s adult orange-red introduces basic concepts of animal development and natural color in a creative, screen-adjacent but imaginative context that the Academy consistently recognizes as developmentally valuable.
How to Color Puffin Rock Coloring Pages
These steps work for any page in the set, from a simple Baba portrait to the full family compositions.
Identify whether a puffin character is an adult or a baby before placing any color. Adult puffins, Oona, Mama, and Papa, have black backs and heads, white chests and faces, and vivid orange-red beaks and feet. Baby puffins, Baba and Otto, have grey-brown downy bodies and small dull yellow-grey beaks with no black-and-white contrast and no orange-red. Getting this distinction right is the single most important coloring decision in the set.
For adult puffin pages, apply the black areas fully and evenly first. The orange-red beak reads most vividly against fully placed black: any variation in the black, any lightening toward grey, reduces the contrast that makes the beak’s warm color so striking. Fill the black back and head before placing the orange-red.
For Baba and Otto pages, use warm grey-brown without any black or orange-red. The temptation to add the adult puffin colors to Baba loses his character entirely. His soft grey-brown down is warm and rounded, and the dull yellow-grey beak is small relative to his fluffy body. Keep the whole palette in warm, muted tones.
For Bernie the crab, use a warm coral-orange similar in warmth to the adult puffin beak. Bernie’s warm orange links him to the adult puffins’ beak color as part of the island’s natural color world. Keep his orange warm and saturated rather than muted, so he reads as a vivid little accent against the softer tones around him.
For any background rock or sea elements, use the soft greys, greens, and blue-greys of an Atlantic island. The Puffin Rock setting is not vivid: coastal grey rock, soft green grass, and blue-grey sea rather than vivid tropical blue. A desaturated, slightly grey-blue for the sea suits the gentle Irish island atmosphere far better than a bright Caribbean blue.

What is Puffin Rock?
Puffin Rock is an animated series produced by Cartoon Saloon and Dog Ears, available on Netflix. It follows Oona, a young puffin, and her baby brother Baba as they explore the wildlife and nature of their island home, narrated by Chris O’Dowd. The show is designed for very young children and is known for its gentle tone and beautiful nature-inspired animation. You can read more about Puffin Rock on Wikipedia.
Why do Oona and Baba look so different from each other?
Oona is a young adult puffin with adult coloring: black back and head, white chest and face, and vivid orange-red beak and feet. Baba is a puffling, a baby puffin, who has not yet developed adult plumage. Baby puffins are covered in soft grey-brown down with a small dull beak and none of the vivid adult coloring. The color difference between them reflects a real difference in how Atlantic puffins look at different life stages.
What colors should I use for Oona?
Oona has a black back and head, a clean white chest and lower face, and a vivid orange-red beak and feet. Apply the black fully and evenly before placing the orange-red, which reads most vividly against complete black. Her feet should be the same warm orange-red as the beak.
What colors should I use for Baba?
Baba is a puffling with soft grey-brown downy feathers covering his whole body and a small dull yellow-grey beak. Do not add any black, white, or orange-red to Baba’s design: his entire palette stays in warm, muted grey-brown tones. His rounded, fluffy body should feel warm and soft.
Are these pages suitable for very young children?
Yes. Puffin Rock is designed specifically for toddlers and preschool-age children, and the coloring pages share that gentle, accessible design style. The thick outlines and simple, rounded shapes make the pages ideal for very young colorists using crayons or washable markers. All pages in the set are fully age-appropriate.
Who is Bernie, and what color is he?
Bernie is a friendly crab who lives on the island. His color is a warm coral-orange, which is one of the few vivid accent tones in the set’s otherwise soft palette. His warm orange sits in the same color family as the adult puffin’s beak, linking him naturally to the puffin characters within the island’s color world.
Are these official Puffin Rock coloring pages?
No. They are fan-made coloring sheets created for personal use and are not affiliated with, licensed by, or endorsed by Cartoon Saloon, Dog Ears, Netflix, or any rights holder of Puffin Rock.

For the final pass: identify adult versus puffling coloring before placing any color on puffin pages, apply adult puffin black fully before adding the orange-red beak, and keep Baba entirely in warm grey-brown without any adult coloring. Those three habits cover the most important coloring decisions across all 28 pages.
