Sea Turtle Over Sandy Seabed Coloring Page

About this page

Waves with curling crests run across the top of the page beneath a round sun, while below the surface a sea turtle swims to the right over a sandy seabed. Its shell is made of big plates ringed by a border of small shields, and the flippers are covered in honeycomb scales. Tall sea grass blades stand at the left and right, a rounded rock sits at the lower right with a small branching coral, and on the sand in front you can find a scallop shell, a spiral shell, a small conch and a couple of tiny snails. Bubbles of different sizes float near the turtle's head. The scene shows both the surface and the seabed, which gives a nice contrast of light and dark. A medium page for adults who like a relaxed, story-like picture.
