Smiling Dolphin Standing Up on Its Tail

Smiling Dolphin Standing Up on Its Tail coloring sheet

Coloring guide

A single cartoon dolphin is drawn upright in a gentle curve, with its long snout pointing to the right and its tail fin at the bottom. It has one large eye with a small curved eyebrow above it, and a soft smile line along the beak. You can see a big fin on its back at the left, two smaller flippers near the chest, and a pale belly patch that runs down the middle of the body. The outlines are bold and the shapes are big and open, so they work well for younger kids using crayons or chunky markers. Try coloring the back a deep blue and the belly patch a lighter shade, then talk about why real dolphins often have two-toned bodies. This free printable also gives you a nice spot to practice staying inside the lines around the flippers.
