Nervous Nemo Beside a Treasure Chest in the Tank, Finding Nemo Page
Coloring guide
Nemo floats in the middle of the page with wide, upturned eyes and a nervous, downturned mouth, as though he's watching something above him. Small bubbles drift up near his head. The scene is a fish tank, with the corner lines of the glass behind him and a wavy water line across the top. Down at the bottom you'll see a closed treasure chest with a latch, a wooden barrel lying on its side, and a string of beads or pearls draped close by. Tall leafy seaweed rises on the left and right, and a few pebbles are scattered across the floor. Bold outlines and big shapes suit preschoolers and early elementary kids. Orange for Nemo's body, with the stripes left white or pale blue, and warm browns for the barrel and chest, would look nice. It's a free printable for a quick coloring break any time.
