Shark Heading Steeply Upward, Snout at the Top Left
Coloring guide
A single shark is drawn on a diagonal, with its pointed snout at the top left and its tail at the bottom right, so it looks like it is swimming steeply upward. The mouth is slightly open and shows a row of small teeth. One round eye with a spiral center sits near the front of the head. Five curved gill lines are drawn behind the head, and a long pectoral fin angles down from the body. You can also see a triangular dorsal fin on the right side, a small fin near the back, and a wide forked tail. The body is mostly open white space with thin lines, which makes it easy for young children to color. Try shading the back darker blue-gray and leaving the belly lighter, then talk about how that two-tone pattern helps sharks blend into the water. The printable page works well for ocean units or quiet time at home.
