Snorkel Boy Swimming Past a Friendly Octopus

A boy with spiky hair floats just below the waves in a snorkel mask, with his feet kicking up toward the surface and one arm tucked in front of him. On the left, a smiling octopus with curly tentacles watches him swim by. A round fish with scales on its side and a forked tail drifts to the right, and small bubbles rise all around. Seaweed, coral shapes, and a shell sit on the sandy sea floor. Above the waterline, two palm trees stand on a small island, two birds fly in the sky, and a big sun with rays shines overhead. This page is a nice fit for talking about what lives above and below the water. Try coloring the sky and sea in different blues so kids can see the waterline clearly, then pick bright colors for the fish and octopus.
