Sammy's Starry sea animal Coloring Pages

Coloring page story

Sammy the Starfish lay on a big rock. He looked up, up, up through the water and saw a tiny, twinkling light in the night sky. "That's a star, just like me!" he thought. "I wish I could meet it!" He wished so hard that a gentle current lifted him and swirled him all the way to the top of the water. He floated on the surface, looking at the sky-star. But then, he looked down and saw another star twinkling right back at him! It was his own reflection! He giggled. He had a star friend right there with him all along.

Coloring page Age Appropriateness

The simple, recognizable shape of the starfish is perfect for the 3-5 age group. The large, open areas of this sea animal design allow for easy coloring with crayons or markers, building confidence. The minimal background elements prevent the page from being overwhelming.

Coloring Page Coloring Instructions

Look, it's Sammy the Starfish! He's found a friend. Let's color him in. You can make Sammy a bright orange or a sunny yellow. And his reflection in the water can be the same color, or maybe a little different! What color will you make the water around him? A nice, calm blue would be lovely. Try your best to stay inside the big, friendly lines!

Coloring Page Printing Tips

To enhance the 'dreamy' feel, consider printing on a matte photo paper which can give a softer finish. Standard paper works perfectly fine too. Make sure the print scaling is set to 'fit to page' to keep all the beautiful sea animal elements visible.

Recommended Tools

Colored pencils are great for this design, allowing for soft shading if desired (by the child). Crayons work wonderfully for filling the large starfish outline. Pastels could also create a lovely, soft effect that matches the story's tone.
