Happy Smiling Dolphin Leaping Through the Air

A single cartoon dolphin curves across the page in a mid-leap pose, with its tail low on the left and its head raised on the right. It has a big round eye with a small shiny pupil, a few little lashes, and a wide smile that stretches along its rounded snout. You can see a tall dorsal fin on its back, a pointed pectoral fin near the middle of the body, and a second flipper hanging down below the chin. The tail flukes sit at the bottom left. The page has no background, so there is plenty of open space around the dolphin. Try blending light and medium blue crayons, keeping the belly area paler than the back, to show how real dolphins have two-tone skin. This free printable also works well for a quick lesson on naming the parts of a dolphin.
