Sea Snake in the Waves

Dive into the ocean with this graceful sea snake, gliding forward through the water with its body rippling in gentle curves. Its flattened, paddle-shaped tail helps it swim, and around it float a few wave lines, small fish, and rising bubbles. The underwater setting gives colorers plenty to work with, from the long-bodied snake to the fish and bubbles, making it a fun page for kids who like to fill a whole scene. Sea snakes really do live in warm ocean waters and use that flat, oar-like tail to push themselves through the waves, surfacing now and then to breathe air. They are one of the few snakes truly at home in the sea. Print this page on US Letter or A4 paper, reach for your blues and greens, and color a peaceful slice of the ocean with its swimming snake at the center.
