Coloring ideas
- Shade the rocky ledge darkest where it hangs over the shark, so the space underneath looks like a shady resting spot.
- Give the starfish a bright orange or purple so it shows up against the pale sand.
- Tap tiny brown pencil dots across the open sand to make it look grainy.
Talk about it
- The shark looks ready for a nap, so where is your favorite cozy place to rest?
- Find the two whiskers by its mouth, then name another animal that has whiskers.
