Coloring order

Start with the curved body and long snout in apricot or light orange, coloring them as one flowing shape.
Fill each thin band across the belly in pale yellow, and the spiky fin crest on the head and back in light purple.
Finish the tightly curled tail, the little fan fin beside the back, and the eye.

Questions to talk about

What shape is the seahorse's tail curled into?
If it held onto sea grass with its tail, what would the scene look like?
Have you ever held on tight to something, like a swing or a rope?

Take it further

Wind a piece of string around a pencil, slide it off to make a curl like a seahorse tail, and glue it under the picture.

Age and time are rough guides for a child coloring alone with pencils or crayons; every child is different. The area count is an estimate counted from the line-art image.

About this image

The black-and-white line art you print and color. Closed shapes and bold outlines make it easy to fill.

Printing and coloring tips

Print on A4 or Letter in portrait to keep the original proportions.
Keep the finished version open beside you while you color.
Use slightly heavier paper with water-based markers so the ink shows through less.
Fill the large areas first and leave the small ones for later.
The finished version is only a suggestion. Any colors you like will work.
