Relaxed Crab Under the Beach Umbrella
Coloring guide
Nothing to do but kick back. This crab wears big round glasses and lounges in a folding beach chair with his claws on the armrests and a happy smile. A large striped umbrella shades him, gentle waves roll in behind, and low hills sit in the distance. On the right, a little round side table holds a tall drink with a straw and a slice of citrus on the rim. Grass tufts, small sand dots and one seashell in the corner finish off the shore. There's lots of open space here for small hands, from the umbrella panels to the chair slats. Coral red for the crab, sunny yellow for the lemonade and alternating blue and white on the umbrella would make a nice summery page. This fits right in with our Crab coloring pages — see also Farm Animals and Chameleon.
