Cleo the Crab's Dance Party sea animal Coloring Pages

Coloring page story

All the other fish swam forward. But Cleo the Crab could only walk sideways. Click-clack, click-clack. Some fish thought it was silly. But Cleo didn't think her walk was silly; she thought it was a dance! She called it the "Wiggle-Wobble Slide." She would click her claws and click-clack to the left, then click-clack to the right. Soon, all the little shrimp saw how much fun she was having and started doing the Wiggle-Wobble Slide right next to her! They had the best sideways dance party on the seafloor.

Coloring page Age Appropriateness

The clear, blocky shape of the crab is easy for 3-5 year olds to color. The action lines are a simple concept for them to understand movement in a picture. This dynamic sea animal scene is exciting and holds the attention of young children, encouraging them to complete the picture.

Coloring Page Coloring Instructions

It's a dance party! Cleo the Crab is doing the Wiggle-Wobble Slide. Let's make her a bright, happy color, like red or orange. Her friends the shrimp are dancing too! You can make them pink. See the little lines next to their legs? That shows they are dancing fast! Color them in and make the whole seafloor look like a fun party.

Coloring Page Printing Tips

Print on sturdy paper that can handle some energetic coloring! This is a fun page for a playdate or group activity. Print one for each child and see how differently they each color the dance party. Ensure the print is centered on the page.

Recommended Tools

Felt-tip markers in bright colors would be perfect for this energetic scene. Crayons are also great for the main body parts. For extra fun, use glitter glue to trace over the 'motion lines' after coloring to make the dance really sparkle.
