Glide along with the biggest fish in the whole ocean. This whale shark coloring page shows a huge, gentle giant moving slowly through the water, with a very wide flat mouth at the front, a broad rounded body covered in a grid of round spots, large side fins, and tiny fish swimming beside it. Despite their enormous size, whale sharks are completely harmless and feed by filtering tiny plankton from the water. The spotted body gives older kids lots of little circles to fill in, while the big smooth shape is easy for younger hands to color. The pattern of spots on each whale shark is unique, much like a fingerprint, which is a fun fact to share while coloring. Try a deep blue body with paler spots, then add a school of bright little fish. Print it on US Letter or A4 and enjoy a calm, peaceful coloring session.

Coloring Tips

  • Spots last — color the big body first, then dot in each round spot so they stand out clearly.
  • Mix the fish — give the little fish different bright colors so they pop against the giant shark.
  • Soft water — use a light blue or green in the background to make the whale shark feel like it is gliding.
