Full of warmth, this page shows a large mother turtle lowering her head gently toward her tiny baby, who follows close behind along the edge of a reed-lined pond. Both wear patterned shells and soft, loving expressions, making it a lovely page about family and care. There are two sizes of turtle to color, so a child can match the parent and baby or give each one its own look, plus reeds and water to fill in around them. Mother turtles lay their eggs and leave them buried to hatch, so young turtles usually grow up on their own, which makes this loving scene a sweet imagined moment. Coloring it is a nice chance to talk about families and looking after little ones. Print it on US Letter or A4 and color this gentle pair any way your heart likes.

Coloring Tips

  • Match the family — give the mama and baby the same shell colors so they clearly look like a pair.
  • Big then small — color the large mother turtle first, then the tiny baby, to save the fiddly part for last.
  • Reedy edges — add greens and blues to the reeds and pond to surround the turtles with their home.
