Sleepy Otter Swimming on Its Back With a Shell

A smiling baby otter floats on its back in the water, holding a scallop shell against its chest with both front paws. Round eyes, a little nose, whiskers and a curved smile give it a sweet, sleepy look, and both hind feet poke up toward the bottom of the page. Three lily pads sit in the corners, and curved ripple lines around the otter show the water moving gently. Big, open shapes make this free printable easy for younger kids, and the fur tufts and whiskers give older kids some detail to work on. Soft browns and tan fit the body, with lighter cream on the face and belly and a pink or lavender shell that stands out. Bright green lily pads and light blue ripples finish it off. This fits right in with our Swimming coloring pages — see also Tennis and Volleyball.
