Happy Dolphin Leaping Out of the Water

A single dolphin arcs through the air with its tail low at the bottom left and its head raised toward the upper right. Its mouth is open in a little smile, and one round eye with a small inner circle sits near the top of the head. You can see a tall pointed dorsal fin on its back, two flippers near the chest, and a split tail fluke at the end of the curved body. The lighter belly area is outlined as its own long shape, which makes a nice spot for a second color. The page has no background, so kids can add their own. Try blue and gray on the back and a pale shade on the belly, then draw waves or splashes around the dolphin with crayons. This printable page also works well for a short talk about how dolphins use their fins and tail to swim and jump.
