In this picture
Every part of a smiling shark holds a different pattern: wavy lines on the head, scales behind them, then circles, stripes and a zigzag tail. Circles also dot the back fin, and four bubbles float around.

Coloring ideas
- Color the scales in two shades that take turns, like a checkerboard, so each scale shows on its own.
- Fill the zigzag bands on the tail from light to dark, starting next to the body and ending at the tips.
- Leave the circles white and color only the space around them for a polka-dot look.
Talk about it
- Name each pattern you can see, then find one of them on your clothes or in the room.
- Which section will take the longest to color, and which will be the quickest?
