Leaping Dolphin and Friends from Sea Animals

Five friendly sea creatures with big round eyes and happy smiles fill this page. A dolphin leaps at the top right with its mouth open and its tail curled below. At the top left, a little clam peeks out of its shell with a wavy lip. In the middle sits a round pufferfish covered in small spikes and oval spots, with fan-shaped fins and a wavy belly line. At the bottom left is a fish with a striped body, a circle near its side, and a forked tail. At the bottom right, an octopus looks upward with curly tentacles. The shapes are large and the lines are clean, so younger kids can color inside them without much trouble. Try a different pattern on each pufferfish spot, then ask your child to count the animals and sort which ones have fins, tentacles, or a shell. This free printable works well for a quiet afternoon or an ocean-themed lesson.
