- Medium

Coloring order
- Color Doti's long body blue-gray or navy first, and leave the white dots untouched so they look like stars.
- Use pink inside the wide-open mouth, a slightly deeper blue for the eye and fins, and leave the belly white.
- Color the small fish swimming around Doti in orange and yellow, and save the coral and seaweed below for last.
Questions to talk about
- How many white dots does Doti have? Try counting just one row.
- What do you think Doti and the little fish are talking about?
- How would you feel standing next to a very, very big animal?
Take it further
Dot white stickers or white crayon marks over black or navy paper to make a starry paper that looks like Doti's spotted skin.
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.

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.
