Coloring page story

Gilly was a Gummy Shark. He had no teeth, just strong, smooth gums. The other fish would ask, "Gilly, how do you eat without teeth?" Gilly would just smile. One day, he invited his friends for a meal. He found a big, soft sea-cucumber. The other fish poked it. "It's too big!" they said. Gilly opened his big mouth and GULP! he swallowed it whole! "My secret," he bubbled, "is that I don't need to chew! Being toothless means I'm the best gulper in the ocean!"

Coloring page Age Appropriateness

The flat, 2D style with very clear and simple shapes is ideal for the youngest colorers (age 3-5). The shark is stylized to be completely non-threatening. The concept of a toothless shark is surprising and funny, making the idea of being 'toothless' a cool and interesting topic rather than a worrisome one.

This page prints well on any standard copy paper. To make it a reusable activity, laminate the printed page and let your child color it with dry-erase markers. They can wipe it clean and color Gilly's toothless adventure again and again!

Recommended Tools

Fat-tipped markers are great for quickly filling in the large, flat areas like the shark's body and the water. This helps build confidence as children can see their progress quickly. It's a great page for practicing staying within the very bold, clear lines.
