Whales, Sharks and Dolphins – Color the Giants of the Sea
Big sea creatures have always fascinated kids: the blue whale is the largest animal that has ever lived on Earth, the whale shark is the biggest fish and the orca is a clever hunter that lives in family groups. Our whale, shark and dolphin coloring pages bring these impressive animals onto paper – sometimes majestic, sometimes playful, always kid-friendly.
The designs show typical behaviors that make great conversation starters while coloring: humpbacks breaching out of the water, dolphins surfing the bow wave, manta rays gliding like birds through the water or a mother whale guiding her calf. Coloring quietly turns into a little trip into marine biology.
The large body areas are ideal for gradients and shading. Younger kids manage simple shades of gray, older kids work with light and dark contrasts and highlights on the skin. All pages are free and ready to print.
At the end of the gallery you will also find 3 matching designs from our other theme worlds that fit this category perfectly.
