Octopus with Curly Tentacles and Seven Bubbles

This happy octopus sits right in the middle of the page, with a big round head, wide sparkly eyes and an open smile. Eight curly tentacles swirl out around it, and every one carries a row of little oval suckers that are fun to fill in. Seven bubbles in different sizes drift around the edges: a few up top, some at the sides and a couple near the bottom. Nothing else crowds the background, so the page stays clean and simple. Thick outlines and roomy shapes make it a good match for preschoolers and early elementary kids still working on pencil control. It's a free printable that goes nicely with crayons or markers. A bright purple or coral octopus looks great, especially with pale pink or white suckers so they pop. Pale blue or aqua works well for the bubbles. Looking for more? Our Dolphin and Shark coloring pages pair nicely with this Octopus page.
