Big-Eyed Smiling Dolphin with Three Floating Bubbles

Coloring guide
One happy dolphin takes up the whole page, head turned to the side and mouth open in a wide smile. It has a large round eye with a shiny highlight, a curved eyebrow line above it, and a blowhole on top of its rounded head. Near the snout, three bubbles drift upward, going from the biggest at the top to the smallest right beside the face. Look for the side fin, a flipper on each side of the body, and a curved line that separates the belly. Outlines are bold and clean and the shapes are big, so crayons or chunky markers work well for preschoolers and early elementary kids. Sky blue suits the head and back, a pale blue or white belly keeps it light, and the bubbles could be a shimmery light purple or aqua. Love this Dolphin coloring page?

A suggested order, zone by zone — skip around as you like.
- 1Fill the dolphin's head, front flipper and right fin with sky blue, working around the eye and mouth.
- 2Color the left back fin with bright blue to make it stand out from the head.
- 3Fill the large belly area with pale blue, leaving the thin line of the flipper edge as a guide.
- 4Color the open mouth with rose pink, keeping the outline crisp.
- 5Use light blue for the two smaller bubbles on the right, and leave the top bubble and the eye's white ring white.
- 6Optional: Add a few extra strokes of bright blue along the edges of the head and fins to give them a little depth.
