Beach Shells and a Sand Dollar by an Ocean Wave
Coloring guide
Across the top, a rolling wave curls its crest and sends up a few flying droplets, and four shells rest on the sand underneath. A round moon snail shell with a spiral center sits on the left. The middle holds a large spiky conch with a pointed top, a ribbed scallop is in front, and a round sand dollar with a petal-shaped star is on the right. Small pebbles and dotted specks of sand are scattered between them. Big open areas mixed with thin ribbed lines give kids a nice range of practice. Soft pink and peach would suit the conch, sandy yellow the sand dollar, and layers of blue and teal the wave. It's free to print, so you may want a few extra copies. Kids who like Ocean coloring pages usually enjoy Forest and Solar System & Space too.

A suggested order, zone by zone — skip around as you like.
- 1Fill the big scallop shell and the inner opening of the large conch shell with salmon pink, leaving the ribs and outlines clean.
- 2Color the outside of the big conch shell peach, and its pointed top and spire in light orange.
- 3Fill the round snail shell with cream, leaving the spiral lines, then add a lavender purple band along its right side.
- 4Color the sand dollar pale sand yellow, then fill its star-shaped petals with golden yellow and its center with cream. Leave the small white holes untouched.
- 5Color the bottom base of the scallop shell coral pink, the two pebbles stone gray, and the splashes of water sky blue. Leave the waves and background white.
- 6Optional: Add a little extra shading by pressing harder along the edges of the shells to make the ridges stand out.
