Smiling Cartoon Starfish With Big Eyes and Spots

A cheerful cartoon starfish fills the page, with five rounded arms that bend and stretch in different directions. Its face sits in the center with two large glossy eyes looking off to the side, small eyebrows above them, and a wide curved smile. Circles in many sizes are scattered along each arm, from tiny dots near the tips to bigger rings closer to the middle. The thick outlines and open shapes make it easy for small hands to stay inside the lines. Try coloring each arm in a different shade and giving the circles a contrasting color so the pattern really stands out. It also works well for a quick lesson on starfish, since you can count the five arms together and talk about how real sea stars live on the ocean floor. Print as many copies as you need for a classroom or a rainy afternoon at home.
