Striped Fish Swimming Toward You with Spiky Fin Hair

A cheerful round fish swims toward the viewer with a big open smile and a little pink-style tongue showing inside its mouth. It has large round eyes with curved eyebrows, a bulbous nose, and a few spiky tufts of fin standing up on top of its head like messy hair. Wavy stripes run across its back and along the tall dorsal fin, and the tail fin on the right has simple lines for texture. Two floppy side fins stick out on the left and right. The outlines are bold and the shapes are big, so this page works well for younger kids. Try coloring the stripes in two alternating shades, like yellow and blue, and leave the belly a lighter color so the pattern stands out. It's also a nice prompt for talking about fins and tails.
