Tiger Shark

Track a striped hunter across the page. This tiger shark coloring page shows the shark in profile, with a blunt rounded snout, a sturdy body marked with bold vertical stripes along its back and sides, a tall dorsal fin, and a strong notched tail. The stripes are what give the tiger shark its name, and they are the best part to color, offering kids a clear pattern to fill in with care. Young tiger sharks have especially bold stripes that fade a little as they grow older. The smooth body shape is simple enough for most kids, while the row of stripes rewards patient, detailed coloring. While you color, you can count the stripes or talk about how patterns help animals in the sea. Try a gray or blue-gray body with darker stripes across it. Print it on US Letter or A4 and let this striped shark prowl the water.
