Walking Turtle Coloring Page
Three hexagon plates sit on the high, domed shell of this turtle, with a broad rim wrapping along the lower edge. The turtle is drawn in profile, heading toward the left side of the sheet. Up front is a round head on a short neck, with one large eye and a curved smile. Four short legs stand under the shell, and a small pointed tail sticks out at the back.
There are 12 spaces at both levels, in heavy outlines on the easy page for ages 3 to 5 and lighter lines on the standard page for ages 6 to 8. Green skin, a brown shell, pale green plates and a yellow rim make a simple plan, and the wide blank area around the turtle leaves room for grass, water or a garden path. The turtle comes out the same size on A4 and US Letter as long as the file prints at 100 percent, not fit to page.

Frequently asked questions
Which level should I print for my child?
Under six, start with the easy page, whose heavy outlines forgive wobbly coloring. From six up, the standard page with thinner lines gives a neater result with pencils.
Is there a colored example to copy?
The turtle color by number has an answer key with a brown shell, light green plates, green skin and a yellow rim, which makes a handy model for this page too.
How many plates are on the shell?
Three hexagon plates sit on the dome, above a broad rim that runs along the lower edge of the shell.
