Little Dolphin Blowing Bubbles Beside a Fish

Coloring guide
A baby dolphin with big round eyes and an open-mouthed smile looks upward as a stream of bubbles floats out of its blowhole. Seven bubbles drift above its head, from tiny dots up to one large round bubble at the top. In the lower right corner, a small round fish with stripes, a bright eye and a fanned tail swims close by. The side fin, curved belly line and tail flukes are drawn with thick, clean outlines, so little hands can stay inside the lines without much trouble. There's no background at all, which leaves lots of white space for your child to draw their own water. Sky blue on the back, a lighter shade on the belly and bright orange on the fish would look nice. Free to print for preschoolers and early elementary kids. Kids who like Dolphin coloring pages usually enjoy Shark and Octopus too.
