Swimming Fish Coloring Page
Gliding to the left, this fish leaves three bubbles floating up in front of its mouth. Its body is an egg shape with a pointed nose and a smile, crossed by a gill curve and three curved stripes. A big triangular tail sits at the back, with a curved fin on top, a smaller one below and a leaf-shaped fin on the side. The eye is a circle with a dark pupil.
Thick, bold lines and 6 wide regions make the easy version a match for a chunky crayon or marker at ages 3 to 5. The standard version keeps the same fish in finer lines for ages 6 to 8, where the stripes and fins can each take a different shade. Orange and white stripes with yellow fins work well, or a child can invent a species and name it on the page. At actual size the fish sits centered with wide margins on A4 or US Letter.
