Flip the Flying Fish Soars at Sunset Coloring Pages

Coloring page story

Flip was a flying fish, but he had a secret: he was afraid of the air. His friends would race towards the surface, burst out of the water, and glide on their fin-wings. "Come on, Flip! The air is amazing!" they’d call.

But Flip would always stay below. The sky looked too big, too empty.

One evening, as the sun was setting, Flip saw something magical. A tiny, blinking light was dancing just above the water—a firefly! He had never seen one so close. It glowed and twinkled, and Flip wanted to see it more than he was afraid of flying.

He took a deep breath, swam as fast as he could, and launched himself out of the water. For a second, he was terrified. But then he opened his fins and he wasn't falling—he was gliding! The wind felt cool, the sky was painted orange and purple, and the firefly danced right in front of him. He didn’t fly for long, but when he splashed back into the sea, he was a different fish. He had faced his fear and discovered a whole new, beautiful world.

Coloring page Age Appropriateness

The Adventure Journey Cartoon style is fantastic for ages 6-8. The dynamic action of the flying fish is exciting and captures their imagination. The clear division between sky and sea provides large, simple areas to color, while the details of the fish and its wings offer a satisfying challenge for developing motor skills.

Coloring Page Coloring Instructions

Let's help Flip fly! You can color the big sun outline in beautiful sunset colors like orange, red, and yellow. The sky can be a mix of purple and pink. What color is the ocean below? A deep blue would look amazing! And for Flip the fish, you can give him shiny blue or silver wings to help him glide through the air. Don't forget the tiny firefly outline! A bright yellow will make it glow.

Coloring Page Printing Tips

This page has a beautiful landscape composition. Print it in 'landscape' orientation to give the most space for the flying fish's journey across the page. A standard A4 or Letter paper is perfect. Ensure the print quality is set to normal or high to capture the sun and wave outline strokes clearly.

Recommended Tools

This page is perfect for blending colors, so colored pencils or oil pastels would be a great choice for creating a beautiful sunset sky. Markers will make the fish and sun outlines pop with solid, bright color. Let your child experiment with creating a gradient in the sky outline!
