Sea Turtle on the Beach

Hauling itself up the shore, this sea turtle pushes across a sandy beach on broad flippers, its flat patterned shell catching the light as gentle waves roll in behind. A starfish and a couple of seashells are scattered on the sand, and a low sun sits on the horizon, giving you a whole seaside scene to color. There is plenty to fill here: the big shell plates, the flippers, the water, the sky, and the little beach treasures around it. Sea turtles spend almost their whole lives in the ocean and only come ashore so the females can lay their eggs in the sand. Their flat shells and flipper-shaped legs make them powerful swimmers but slow, determined crawlers on land. Print it on US Letter or A4 and color this ocean traveler and its beach in any sunset shades you like.
