About this coloring page
A seahorse with big, sparkling eyes and a long snout floats upright in the center of the page. Its belly is divided into curved stripes, a fan-shaped fin sticks out from its back, and a frilly crest runs from its head down its back. Its tail curls into a tight spiral, and tall seaweed sways on both sides.
Coloring ideas
Seahorses come in yellow, orange, coral and even purple, so pick a bright body and color the belly stripes in alternating light and dark shades. The seaweed can be several greens or even reddish brown. Blue water and a few drawn bubbles make the scene complete.
Skills practiced
Seahorse dads carry the eggs until the babies are born, a surprising fact that kids love. The curled tail is used to hold on to seaweed, so you can talk about how body parts help animals survive.
Printing tips
The stripes and seaweed fronds have fairly narrow spaces, so colored pencils give the cleanest result. Print one copy for practice and another for the final version if children want to plan colors first.
