Coloring page Smiling Whale with Striped Belly
A smiling whale swims sideways, its tail lifted high. It has a large, round eye and a wide-open mouth with a detailed interior. On its back, you can see several oval spots, and underneath, long, even stripes run along its belly. Fins protrude from the sides, and short lines on its body suggest folds and movement.
In school, this image is perfect for a nature class when kids are learning about marine animals. Coloring helps practice patience and careful coloring along the lines. This printable is great for kids, allowing them to easily separate larger areas from smaller spots. It can also be used to discuss how different body parts help the animal swim. The striped belly of whales is associated with flexible folds that can stretch when taking in water and food. When coloring, choose blue and gray to make the stripes clear and calm along the even lines. It’s best to use colored pencils and lightly guide them in one direction to emphasize the stripe pattern.
Print and color the whale, choosing your own shades.
