About this page
About this shark coloring page for kids
This shark is drawn as a friendly, rounded animal rather than a frightening one, and he swims across the page with a tall fin on his back and a wide mouth that curves upward like a smile. Two side fins, a crescent-shaped tail, and five short gill slits along his body are each a separate bold shape, and a few large bubbles keep the water around him simple. Because a shark is a fish, the page pairs well with our whale page for a short talk about the different ways that ocean animals breathe.
