Nemo and Pearl the Little Octopus Underwater

A small clownfish with white stripes and a big round eye floats beside a cheerful, rounded octopus-like friend who has a little leaf-shaped tuft on top of its head. Both of them are looking upward with wide eyes, and the octopus has a gentle smile. Three tiny bubbles drift near the fish's tail. Wavy sand and rock shapes with small oval spots fill the bottom of the page, and in the upper background a little box or bottle floats on a puddle-like patch of water. The big open areas are easy to color, so younger kids can fill them with a single bright shade. Try orange and white for the striped fish, a soft pink or purple for the round friend, and sandy browns along the bottom. Afterward, ask your child what the two might be looking at above them. This free printable works well for a quiet afternoon or a short ocean unit.
