Four ocean friends with thick outlines and big, simple shapes, drawn for little hands that are still learning to hold a crayon.
What's inside
- A baby sea turtle with a starfish
- A smiling octopus with bubbles

The PDF starts with a title page, then one animal per page.
How to print
- Download the PDF with the button above.
- Print at 100% / actual size on plain paper. The pages are US Letter and print fine on A4.
- Choose single-sided printing so markers don't bleed through onto the next picture.
Heavier paper (cardstock) holds up better to markers and paint. Plain printer paper is fine for crayons and colored pencils.
Coloring ideas
- Let your child pick one color per animal first, then add patterns: stripes on the turtle's shell, dots on the octopus.
- Cut the finished animals out and make an ocean scene on blue paper.
- Name the animals together and talk about where they live.
