Dolphin Leaping Beside a Large Lily Flower

A single dolphin arcs upward with its beak pointed to the right, one small eye and a smooth curved body drawn in clean outlines. Behind its head, a big lily blooms with wide pointed petals and three thin stamens curling out from the center. Swirling vines and spiral tendrils twist around the top, left side, and bottom of the picture, and a few leaf-like shapes tuck in behind the dolphin's fins and tail. The wide open areas on the body are easy for small hands, while the curls and petals give older kids some detail to work on. Try coloring the dolphin in two or three shades of blue and gray, then pick warm pinks or yellows for the lily so the animal stands out. This free printable also works well for a short talk about how dolphins live in the ocean while flowers grow on land.
