Top-View Turtle With Spirals, Stripes and Polka Dots

Coloring guide
Seen from above, this happy sea turtle swims across the page with big sparkly eyes, a small smile and a head dotted with little circles. The round shell is divided into hexagon sections, and every one has its own pattern, whether that's spirals, wavy stripes or tiny polka dots. Kids who like filling in different textures will have fun here. Cobblestone-style shapes cover all four flippers, and a small pointed tail sits at the bottom. Round bubbles float around the turtle, and two clumps of wavy seaweed grow in the lower corners. You could try bright teal and purple on the spiral sections, then greens and yellows on the dotted ones. Print this free page and add it to your growing stack. Add this to your Turtle coloring page collection, alongside Seals & Sea Lions and Monkey.
