About this page
About this whale coloring page for kids
One enormous whale fills most of this ocean animal coloring page, with a rounded back, a short flipper at his side, a small eye, and a wide tail that spreads into two flat lobes. A spout of water rises above the blowhole on the top of his head, and that spout gives a child a second large shape to color. A whale is a mammal and not a fish, so the page is a good moment to explain that this animal breathes air and that he can grow longer than a school bus.
