Sleepy Whale Dreaming Under the Moon and Stars
Coloring guide
Content and smiling, this round whale floats on gentle wavy lines with its eyes closed and lashes showing. A little fountain sprays from the blowhole, the tail flips up behind, and a small side fin rests near the waves. Striped lines run along the belly, giving kids a nice spot for detail. High above, a big crescent moon and three stars of different sizes fill the night sky. Thick, clean outlines and large open spaces make this free printable easy for preschoolers and early elementary kids, and it also makes a calm bedtime activity. Deep navy and purple will make the whale stand out, and pale yellow on the moon and stars gives a cozy nighttime glow. Light blue and teal would suit the waves.
