Sleepy Baby Whale Resting by a Crab and Shells
Coloring guide
A round, smiling whale is taking a nap on the sea floor, eyes shut with long lashes, while a small fountain of water sprays from its blowhole. The tail curls up behind it and the belly has simple curved stripes. In the bottom corner, a cheerful crab with raised claws and big round eyes sits next to a scallop shell and a spiral shell, with small pebbles scattered over the sand. Tall wavy seaweed grows on both sides, and bubbles float above the whale. The big open shapes keep this free printable easy for small hands. Sky blue suits the whale's back and pale yellow the striped belly. Bright orange will make the crab pop against the sand.
