10 Ocean Animal Coloring Pages

The ocean covers about 71 percent of Earth's surface, and scientists think most ocean species have not been discovered yet. Ocean animals come in amazing forms: octopuses have three hearts and blue blood, jellyfish have no brains or bones and sea turtles can travel thousands of miles to return to the beach where they hatched. Dolphins are mammals that breathe air through a blowhole. This set brings together sea creatures. A crab, an octopus, a jellyfish, a seahorse, a sea turtle, a friendly shark and a cute dolphin each have a page, along with an easy fish for toddlers and a full ocean scene. Kids can practice sorting: dolphins are mammals, sharks and seahorses are fish, sea turtles are reptiles and crabs are crustaceans. Many blues and greens make great water, while orange crabs, pink jellyfish and yellow fish add color. These pages fit beach trips, ocean units and World Oceans Day on June 8.
