Axolotl Blowing Bubbles Coloring Page

About this page

A young axolotl floats through the water at a slant, puckering its lips around a bubble wand. Five round bubbles drift up and away to the right, starting tiny near the wand and growing larger toward the top of the page, each with a small shine mark. The axolotl looks over at its bubbles with one big eye, and its frilly gills spread out like small leaves on both sides of its head. Its arms reach forward with little four-fingered hands, a back leg tucks under the body, and a long, wavy tail fin flows down to the lower left with soft lines along it. Lots of white space surrounds the figure, so the page feels light and open. The bubbles are neat circles for practicing coloring inside the lines, and the tail fin gives room for gentle blending.
