Octopus and Friends: Clownfish, Seahorse and Starfish (Sea Animals (General))
Coloring guide
Right in the center of this underwater scene sits a big-eyed octopus with a wide smile, its eight curly tentacles spread out and lined with little suckers. A striped, cheerful clownfish swims in the upper left and a smiling seahorse floats in the upper right, with round bubbles drifting all around. At the bottom, a smiling starfish rests near a scallop shell and a spiral seashell, rounded coral and rocks sit behind them, and tall wavy seaweed curls up on both sides. Large shapes and open spaces are easy for little hands, and the spots on the octopus's head and the suckers add detail for older kids. A purple octopus, a bright orange clownfish and a sunny yellow starfish would look great. It's a free printable that suits a quiet afternoon or an ocean-themed lesson.
