Ocean Cory the Crab's Big Quest Coloring Pages

Coloring page story

Cory loves his sparkly blue shell. One morning, WHOOSH, a big wave washes it away! "Oh no!" chirped Cory. The ocean seemed so big and loud. But that was his favorite shell. Cory had to be brave. He took a deep breath and started his quest. He went scuttle, scuttle, scuttle across the sand. He saw a tall, green sea-plant. "Hello! Have you seen my shell?" The sea-plant swayed. "Look behind the big, sleepy rock!" Cory scuttled to the rock. It was very big. He felt very small. He peeked around the corner... Twist: It wasn't his shell. It was a whole family of sparkly blue shells, even shinier than his! His shell was right there, but now it had friends. Cory found his shell and made new friends, too. He wasn't scared anymore. He was a brave adventurer!

Coloring Page Printing Tips

For best results, print this line art on medium-weight paper or cardstock to prevent markers from bleeding through. Use your printer's 'high quality' or 'photo' setting to ensure the black outline strokes are crisp and clear, making it easier for children to color and enjoy their ocean adventure.

Recommended Tools

Chunky crayons are perfect for this age group as they are easy to grip. Washable markers are also a great choice for vibrant colors. These tools work wonderfully with the large, empty coloring areas in this outline-only design. Always make sure to use a mat to protect your table!
