Goldfish Bowl Color by Number (Adult) Printable
Coloring guide
In this free printable, a smiling little goldfish swims inside a round glass bowl. It has a big round eye, scalloped scales near its head, and flowing fins and a tail with lined details. Small bubbles drift up beside it and a wavy line near the top shows the water level. Two tall leafy plants stand on either side of the bowl, and a pile of smooth pebbles rests along the bottom. Numbers 1 to 5 appear inside the sections: 1 is the body, 2 the fins and tail, 3 the plants, 4 the pebbles and 5 the water at the top. Warm orange for the 1 body and light yellow for the 2 fins will help the goldfish pop against green plants and blue water. It's an easy, low-pressure choice for anyone just learning to follow a number key. This fits right in with our Color by Number (Adult) coloring pages — see also Friendship and Love.

A suggested order, zone by zone — skip around as you like.
- 1Fill the bowl, the rim and the water above the wavy line with sky blue, then use ocean blue for the deeper water in the middle of the bowl.
- 2Color the bubbles and the inside of the bowl's top rim with pale blue, leaving a little paper showing as a shine if you like.
- 3Color the fish body with tangerine orange, the head and gill scales with golden yellow, and all the fins and tail with coral red.
- 4Fill the seaweed with leaf green, then add forest green to the darker leaves on each side of the bowl.
- 5Color the big rocks and pebbles at the bottom: charcoal gray for the dark stones, wheat tan and sand beige for the light ones, and amber orange for the large center stone.
- 6Optional: Leave the fish's eye white unpainted so it stays bright, and add a little darker shading on the fins and seaweed edges for depth.
