Teamwork Fish Finny the Square Fish Coloring Pages

Coloring page story

In a coral reef bustling with fish of every sleek and speedy shape, lived Finny. And Finny was perfectly, unusually, square.

When the other fish played tag, they would zip and dart. Finny would chug and turn. "Hurry up, Finny!" they'd call. But his square corners weren't made for zipping.

One day, a strong current swept through the reef. It knocked over a beautiful sea-fern archway that all the little fish loved to swim through. The round pebbles they tried to use to fix it just rolled away. Everyone was sad.

Finny looked at the fallen arch and then at the wobbly pebbles. He had an idea. He chugged over to the base and wedged himself into the sand. "Put the pebbles on top of me!" he said. His flat top made a perfect, steady base. Then, he asked another squareish rock-fish to help, and together they became the foundation. The other fish carefully stacked the pebbles, and soon, the archway was rebuilt, stronger than ever.

Finny couldn't zip and dart, but he learned that being a steady, solid, and dependable square had a very important place in the reef.

Coloring page Age Appropriateness

The Blocky Cartoon style is ideal for 6-8 year olds. The simple, geometric outline of the square fish and the large, distinct coloring areas for the pebbles and archway help develop hand-eye coordination and fine motor control without being overly complex. The clear subject matter makes the story easy to follow visually.

Coloring Page Printing Tips

For the best coloring experience, print this line art page on medium-weight paper, like cardstock. This prevents markers from bleeding through and is sturdy enough for crayons. Check your printer settings for 'black and white' or 'grayscale' to ensure the outline strokes of the fish are crisp and clear.

Recommended Tools

Thick crayons are perfect for this age group, as they are easy to grip and great for filling the large empty spaces. Washable markers are also a fun option for vibrant colors. For smaller areas, colored pencils can help children practice their precision. Always use non-toxic art supplies.
