The shortfin mako is one of the fastest sharks in the sea and can jump high out of the water. Color its back deep blue and its belly white.

In this picture

High above the water, a mako shark with a long pointed nose bends in mid-leap and grins. Its tail kicks up a curling splash from the rolling waves, while the sun shines between two clouds.

Can you find?

  • a long pointed nose
  • two puffy clouds
  • the sun and its rays
  • water drops in the air
  • rolling waves
  • three gill lines

Coloring ideas

  • Leave the splash curls and flying drops white, then color the waves beneath them in two blues, a darker one for the lowest line.
  • Make the sky a soft yellow near the sun and blue farther away, pressing lightly so the clouds stay bright.
  • For a silly version, give the leaping shark rainbow fins and count how many colors you used.

Talk about it

  • Jump as high as you can, then say what you would see from above the waves.
  • What made the shark leap out of the water, and where will it land?
