Standing in a calm side view, this friendly pond turtle balances on four stubby legs with a small smiling head poking forward and gentle, welcoming eyes. Its rounded dome shell is divided into clear segment plates, giving you plenty of neat sections to color in different shades. The clean, simple lines make it a comfortable page for a wide range of ages: little ones can fill the big shell with one color, while older kids can give every plate its own tone. Pond turtles spend their days swimming in calm fresh water and climbing out to bask in the sun, and they often pull their heads and legs into their shells when they feel shy or sense danger nearby. Their friendly look makes them a favorite first animal for many young colorers. Print it on US Letter or A4 and color this happy little turtle in any pond-side palette you imagine.

Coloring Tips

Pond greens — soft greens and browns suit a freshwater turtle, but any color makes a cheerful pet-style pal.
Section the shell — color each plate a different shade so the dome shell looks rounded and full.
Friendly face — keep the eyes simple and add a tiny smile of color to match its gentle look.
