Goldfish Swimming Right With Rows of Wavy Scales

A single goldfish swims toward the right with a large round eye, a small curved smile, and a rounded head. Its body is covered in wavy, scale-like lines that run in rows from behind the head toward the tail. A tall dorsal fin rises from the back with thin lines fanning across it, and a small pectoral fin sits just behind the gill area. The tail is the star of the page, a big, wispy fan that sweeps up and out to the left with ragged, feathery edges. Two fins also hang down underneath the belly. The outlines are bold and clean, which makes it easy for younger kids to stay inside the lines. Try orange and yellow on the body, then blend lighter shades into the tail so the fins look sheer. This free printable also works well for a pet fish or ocean animal lesson, since children can point out each fin and talk about what it does.
