Gliding through the water, this graceful sea turtle stretches its wide flipper-shaped legs out like wings, its smooth flat shell patterned in large plates as a few bubbles drift upward. Small fish and wavy seaweed float around it, turning the page into a whole underwater scene to color. There is lots of open space in the water for younger children, plus the big shell plates, fish, and seaweed for older kids who want more to do. Sea turtles are amazing ocean swimmers that can hold their breath for a long time and travel huge distances across the sea. Their flat shells help them slip smoothly through the water instead of sinking, and they steer with their back flippers like a built-in rudder. Watching one swim is a calm, peaceful sight. Print it on US Letter or A4 and dive in with blues and greens for the ocean, or any colors that make your turtle's underwater world come alive.

Coloring Tips

  • Watery background — fill the open space with light blues and greens so the turtle looks like it is gliding underwater.
  • Patterned plates — shade the large shell plates in different tones to show off the turtle's smooth flat shell.
  • Pop the fish — use bright colors on the little fish and seaweed to add life to the ocean scene.
