Playful Shark With a Beach Ball on Its Nose

Coloring guide
Head tipped back, this smiling shark balances a big striped beach ball on the very tip of its snout. Its eyes look up at the ball and its toothy grin is wide open. Two little striped fish with big friendly eyes swim nearby, one on each side. Round bubbles of different sizes float up through the water, and wavy seaweed and small rocks fill the bottom corners. The shark has gill lines on its side and large smooth fins that are easy to color in. Thick, clean outlines work well for preschoolers and early elementary kids with crayons or markers. Soft blue for the shark, red, yellow and green for the ball panels and orange for the two fish make a cheerful mix. The free printable is ready whenever you need a few extra copies.
