Sleepy-Eyed Starfish With Arms Like Little Legs

A cartoon starfish stands with its five rounded arms spread out, one pointing up, two out to the sides, and two at the bottom like little legs. The face has half-closed, relaxed eyes with heavy lids and lashes, thin eyebrow lines, and a wide, curved smile that gives it a calm, laid-back look. Small curved dots are scattered over the arms and body to show the bumpy texture of a real starfish skin. Thin highlight lines run along the edges of the arms, which leaves nice open areas to fill in. Try coloring it in orange and peach, then use a darker shade or a dotted pattern for the little bumps. It is also a handy page to pair with a short talk about how starfish live on the ocean floor. This free printable works well for quiet time at home or in the classroom.
