Hammerhead Shark

Get ready to color the most unusual head in the sea. This hammerhead shark coloring page shows the shark swimming straight toward you, with its distinctive wide flat T-shaped head, an eye set on each far end, a slim streamlined body, a tall curved dorsal fin, and a long sweeping tail. That strange hammer shape is not just for looks: the spread-out eyes give hammerheads a very wide view, and the head helps them sense prey hidden in the sand. The bold, simple outline of the head makes this page approachable for younger kids, while the curved fins and body give older artists room to add shading. While coloring, you can talk about how this shark is built for hunting. Pick a smooth gray or go bold with a surprising color. Print it on US Letter or A4 and bring this oddball of the ocean to life.
