Sea Animals Scene: Turtle, Butterflyfish and Crab

A smiling sea turtle swims in the middle of this ocean scene, with big round eyes and a shell covered in oval spots of different sizes. Above it floats a large fish with a tall fin on its back, a forked tail, and two oval patches on its side. In the bottom left corner, a happy crab waves its claws on stalky eyes. Wavy seaweed rises on the left, a branching coral and a small starfish sit at the top right, and two clam shells rest near the bottom right beside a couple of small plants. Bubbles dot the water throughout. The oval spots on the turtle's shell are great for practicing pattern coloring, so try alternating two or three greens and browns. Kids can also count the bubbles and talk about which animals swim and which walk on the sand. Print it free and use crayons or markers.
