Shy Baby Octopus Peeking Out From Two Rocks
Coloring guide
This sweet underwater scene shows a little octopus with big round eyes peeking from behind two large rocks. Small spots cover its rounded head. One tentacle curls over the left rock, another wraps around the front of the right rock, and a third reaches up behind the right one, with a row of suckers on each. Tall wavy seaweed leaves stand on both sides, and a few pebbles and small oval stones rest on the sandy bottom. Because the shapes are large and the lines are clean, crayons and chunky markers work well for younger kids. Soft purple with pink suckers suits the octopus, with gray rocks and bright green seaweed around it. Print it free for a classroom project or a weekend craft. Love this Octopus coloring page?
