About this coloring page

This smiling sea turtle has a rounded head, oval cheeks, and a patterned shell with small circles inside its sections. Long flippers stretch upward as it swims beside a tall strand of seaweed. Two seashells and a few pebbles sit on the gently curved seabed below.

The bold outlines and mostly large spaces suit little kids ages 3–5 who enjoy easy animal pictures. The shell circles and seashell lines add a few smaller details without filling the scene with tiny shapes. Try green crayons for the turtle and a lighter yellow for its shell, or choose a different bright color for each shell section. A pale blue background can finish the underwater picture.

Best paper

Standard printer paper works; 24–32 lb or cardstock is nicer for markers.

Printer settings

Choose “Fit to page” and turn off two-sided printing so ink doesn't bleed through.

Supplies

Chunky crayons or washable markers are easiest for small hands.
