Coloring guide

A cartoon dolphin curves upward in a playful leap, its head tilted back and its mouth open in a big smile. It has one large round eye with a small highlight and a couple of short lines beside it. A rounded snout sits at the top left. You can see two flippers on the front of the body, one pointing out to the left and a bigger one across the chest, plus a pointed dorsal fin on the back. The tail flukes spread out at the bottom right. A long curved line along the belly marks the lighter underside. The outlines are bold and the sections are wide open, so younger kids can stay inside the lines without trouble. Try blue and gray on the back, then a pale shade on the belly so the two sections stand out. It also works well for a short talk about how dolphins use their flippers and tails to swim and jump.
