Ocean Creatures Facts & Coloring Pages

E has been doing a lot of coloring lately. Her summer camp theme was “Under the Sea” last month, so I decided to add to the ocean creatures printables I have available {like Ocean Creatures Memory Game and Shark I Spy} and make some Ocean Creatures Coloring Pages that also include some fun facts about each animal.

Materials for Ocean Creatures Facts & Coloring Pages

• PDF file (below).
• Printer.
• Markers, crayons, colored pencils, etc.
• 10 sheets of paper.

What’s in the Ocean Creatures Coloring Pages PDF file?

There are 10 coloring pages with a fun fact about the creature printed at the bottom in a dotted and lined font. The fun fact can be used for extra environmental print, tracing, or copying. {It can also help you figure out what you’re looking at – not like I need that with any animal ever, and I’m sure neither do you 😉 }

The coloring pages include the following ocean creatures:

• clownfish,
• crab,
• dolphin,
• jellyfish,
• lobster,
• octopus,
• pufferfish,
• shark,
• squid,
• and turtle.

The 10 fun ocean creatures facts are

• “Clownfish live in coral reefs. They communicate with sounds.”
• “Crabs have ten legs. Most crabs walk sideways.”
• “Dolphins are very intelligent and love to play.”
• “Some jellyfish glow in the dark.”
• “Lobsters taste with their legs and chew with their stomachs.”
• “An octopus has three hearts and nine brains.”
• “Pufferfish can puff up into a ball shape to scare their enemies.”
• “Sharks do not have bones.”
• “Squids are very fast swimmers and usually travel in groups.”
• “Some turtles live in the water and some live on land, but they all lay their eggs on land.”
