Cheerful Dolphin Arcing Beak Right, Tail Curling Left

A cheerful dolphin arcs through the air with its long beak pointing to the right and its tail curling down at the left. The face is simple and friendly, with one large round eye that has a small dot for a pupil and a little curved smile near the beak. You can see a pointed dorsal fin on top of the back, a big side flipper in the middle of the body, and a smaller flipper just behind the chin. The tail flukes at the bottom are wide and clean. A curved line runs along the belly, marking off a lighter underside. The outlines are thick with plenty of open space, so it works well for younger kids using crayons or markers. Try coloring the back a darker blue or gray and leaving the belly area lighter, then talk about how real dolphins have two-toned bodies. This printable page also gives kids a chance to name each fin as they color it.
