Cute Starfish With Dotted Arms and Circles

A single five-armed starfish fills the page, drawn with a thick, smooth outline and slightly curved, tapering arms. The center holds a cluster of round bumps, some solid black and some with small white dots inside, packed together in a loose swirl. Down each arm runs a line of smaller dots that get tinier toward the tips, with a few tiny rings mixed in with the solid ones. The big open areas inside each arm are easy for small hands to fill. Try coloring the arms in orange or coral and leaving the black dots as they are, or use a lighter color to shade the white centers of the circles. It also works well for a quick lesson on how starfish have five arms and bumpy skin, and it's a free printable that fits any beach or ocean unit.
