Sea Turtle Above Coral Cluster Coloring Page

About this page

A sea turtle drifts diagonally across the top half with its head tilted up toward the right, its shell split into big smooth plates, and its flippers shown with honeycomb scales. Bubbles of several sizes float around the head and flippers. Below, a compact reef sits at the bottom: a branching coral in the center, two or three tube sponges on the left, a rounded cauliflower-like coral at the right, a small anemone between them, and long wavy leaves on both sides, all resting on a row of smooth stones. The plates on the shell are big enough to blend colors in, while the reef supplies smaller pockets of detail. A medium page for adults, a good middle ground between simple and highly intricate, for a relaxed hour of coloring.
