Teacher Whale in Graduation Cap Instructing Three Little Fish

A smiling whale stands upright on its tail, wearing round glasses and a flat square graduation-style cap on top of its head. It holds a long pointer stick in one flipper, as if teaching a lesson. Beside it, three small smiling fish float in the water with a handful of round bubbles drifting around them, like students listening in class. The lines are thick and simple, with big open areas that are easy for younger kids to fill in. This free printable works well for a first-day-of-school activity. Try coloring the whale a bold blue, then give each little fish a different color so children can count them and talk about what the whale might be teaching today. The bubbles are a nice spot for light blue or purple crayons.
