Two Smiling Dolphins Leaping Over Wavy Water

Two cartoon dolphins swim and leap together in this simple line drawing. The front dolphin arches upward with its mouth open in a big smile, and you can see its tongue and teeth. It has one eye with long lashes, a curved back fin, and a flipper held down at its side. Behind it, a second dolphin with its own lashy eye and a closed, happy smile peeks out below. A tail fin rises at the top right, and another tail curls at the bottom. Curvy lines on the left and right show ripples in the water. The shapes are big and the lines are bold, so younger kids can color inside them without much trouble. Try using two different shades of blue or gray for the dolphins so children can tell which body parts belong to which animal. It also works well as a prompt to count the flippers and tails together.
