Right at the start of life, this baby turtle hatchling pushes out of its cracked egg onto the warm sand, big sparkly eyes wide open and short little flippers reaching forward. Two more speckled eggs rest in the shallow nest beside it, hinting at brothers and sisters still on the way. The soft little shell and rounded shapes are gentle and open, so younger children can color the body easily while older ones add tiny cracks and grains of sand. Real turtles hatch from leathery eggs buried in the ground, and the warmth of the nest helps decide whether they become boys or girls. Newly hatched sea turtles race straight for the water as soon as they dig free, scrambling across the open sand to reach the safety of the waves. This gentle first-day scene makes a lovely page for talking about brand-new life. Print it on US Letter or A4 and bring this brand-new turtle to life with any colors you like.

Coloring Tips

Soft shell colors — a hatchling's shell is pale and new, so try light greens, soft browns, or even a gentle yellow.
Sandy nest — warm tans and beige around the eggs make the little turtle pop against the beach.
Bright eyes last — leave the sparkly eyes until the end and add a white dot of shine to keep them lively.
