Coloring page Smiling Octopus with Starfish and Bubbles

A cheerful octopus floats above the ocean floor, holding a simple-faced starfish in its tentacle. It has large, round eyes with lashes and a few spots on its head. Bubbles surround it, and below, there are waving plants and rock-like shapes.

This printable is great for kids during quiet time after class, as they settle at their desks. It helps practice mindfulness by following the curves of the tentacles and the small underwater shapes. The coloring page encourages kids to choose colors for the starfish, bubbles, and background plants. It fits well with discussions about sea creatures and how their body parts look in drawings. The octopus uses its suckers to grab and hold various things. Coloring the suckers in light pink and purple makes the oval shapes stand out against the tentacle. Use a fine liner or a well-sharpened pencil for filling in small details.

Color the octopus and starfish, then perfect the bubbles.
