Coloring page story
Dolly the dolphin and her friend, Tucker the turtle, found something new. It was long and green and very, very shiny. "Ooh, pretty!" said Dolly.
She tried to swim through it, but she got stuck! "Help!" she squeaked. It wasn't pretty, it was a tangly mess!
Tucker used his strong beak to carefully snip and tug the shiny green line (an old fishing net) until Dolly was free. "Phew!" said Dolly. "That shiny stuff doesn't belong here. Let's push it away from our friends." Together, they pushed the tangly mess into a deep, rocky crack where no one else could get stuck.
Coloring page Age Appropriateness
The design simplifies a potentially scary situation (being stuck) into a clear, solvable problem. The abstract 'mess' is not frightening. The clear depiction of teamwork toward a positive goal is an excellent social-emotional lesson for the 3-5 age group. The large, distinct shapes of the dolphin, turtle, and mess are easy to color.
Coloring Page Coloring Instructions
Oh no, Dolly the dolphin found a tangly mess! But look, her friend Tucker the turtle is helping her clean up. They are a great team! You can help them by coloring in the picture.

Coloring Page Printing Tips
Standard copy paper is great for this activity. Printing a few copies might be helpful, as this page can spark conversations and your child may want to color it again while you talk about why we shouldn't leave trash in nature. A clear print will help distinguish the tangled lines for coloring.
Recommended Tools
Crayons are perfect for this page, as your child can create a 'messy' texture on the tangled net by scribbling with different colors. Markers can make the dolphin and turtle heroes stand out. This is a great opportunity to talk about 'yucky' colors versus 'clean' colors with your child.
