Treasure Chest Octopus, a Sea Animals (General) Printable
Coloring guide
A smiling little octopus peeks over the edge of an open wooden treasure chest piled with coins, a scallop shell and strings of beads, and a big jeweled pendant hangs down the front. Three striped fish swim above with small bubbles around them, while tall seaweed, bumpy coral and tube sponges frame the sides of the page. On the sandy seabed you'll spot scattered coins, a spiral seashell, a clam shell and a starfish with dotted arms. There's plenty here to keep young colorers busy, from the wood grain and metal bands on the chest to the round suckers on the tentacles. A bright purple or orange octopus looks great next to golden coins. Print or download this free page for a quick coloring break any time. Looking for more?

- 6Optional: Add a little shading with a darker shade of each color along one side of the chest and octopus to make them pop.
