Hoop Jump with a Happy Dolphin and a Big Splash

Coloring guide
In this cheerful page, a smiling dolphin arcs through a big round hoop while its tail is still near the water and drops fly up around it. Two tall posts with round ball tops hold the hoop, and three stars float in the sky above and beside it. At the bottom, a splash bursts out of the pool, ripples spread across the water, and a few separate droplets hang in the air. Behind the posts you'll see a tiled pool edge. The dolphin has a big round eye, an open happy mouth, two flippers and a curved dorsal fin, all drawn with clean, bold outlines that small hands can handle. Preschoolers and early elementary kids should like this free printable. Soft blue and gray fit the dolphin, a red or yellow hoop will stand out nicely, and layers of light and dark blue can bring the splash to life. Love this Dolphin coloring page?

- 2Color the belly stripe and chest area pale aqua to give the dolphin a light underside.
- 3Color the hoop, the top left star, the small left star and the small right star golden yellow, and leave the big top right star white.
- 4Paint both poles and their bases lavender purple, then color the pole tops golden yellow.
- 5Color the pool edge tiles soft lime green, with one soft gold tile on the right side of the platform, and fill the dolphin's open mouth with coral pink.
- 6Fill the water droplets and splash shapes with light sky blue, keeping the background and the dolphin's snout highlight white. Optional: add a few darker blue strokes on the dolphin's body for depth.
