Clownfish, Dolphin and Baby Octopus Under the Sea

A smiling dolphin leans in from the right side of the page while a striped clownfish swims across the top and a little octopus looks up from the sea floor. The octopus has big round eyes and curly tentacles, and one tentacle curls near a spiral shell. Along the bottom there are tall wavy seaweed leaves, two tube-shaped corals on the left, a snail-style shell with a spiral, and a layered scallop-like shell next to the dolphin's tail. Round bubbles of different sizes float around the scene. The clownfish has wide white bands and lots of fin lines, so it is a nice spot for practicing small, careful strokes. Try orange and white for the clownfish, then ask kids to pick colors for the dolphin and octopus. This free printable also works well for a quick ocean unit talk about what lives in the sea.
