Smiling Goldfish With Long Flowing Fins and Scales

Smiling Goldfish With Long Flowing Fins and Scales coloring page

Coloring guide

A cheerful goldfish swims toward the left with a round head, two big shiny eyes, and a little open mouth showing one tooth. Its body is covered in rows of curved scales that stop behind the gill line. Tall ruffled fins rise from the back, and a large tail with wavy, layered folds sweeps out to the right. Smaller fins hang below the belly, and a short ribbon-like whisker curls out near the mouth. The thick outlines and roomy shapes make this a good fit for kids who are still building crayon control. Try coloring each scale row in a slightly different shade of orange, yellow, and red, then use soft blues or purples for the flowing tail so the fins stand out. It is a free printable that also works well for a quick lesson on fish body parts.
