Timmy's Story-Shell sea animal Coloring Pages

Coloring page story

Timmy was the oldest turtle in the ocean. His shell wasn't just a shell; it was a library of stories. Every swirl and every bump on his shell held a memory. If you looked closely, one swirl showed a picture of a time he raced a swordfish. Another bump showed a time he found a sunken pirate's treasure chest filled with shiny sea glass. Little fish would gather around and gently touch a spot on his shell, and Timmy would tell them the magical story hidden there.

Coloring page Age Appropriateness

The design is well-suited for ages 3-5. The turtle is a large, stable character to color. The divided sections on the shell are big enough for early colorers, helping them practice staying within the lines while introducing the concept of patterns. The storytelling theme engages their developing imagination.

Coloring Page Coloring Instructions

This is Timmy the Turtle, and his shell is full of stories! Let's give his stories some color. You can color each special shape on his shell a different color. Maybe one story is green, and another is blue! What color will you make Timmy's head and legs? And don't forget his little fish friends who are listening. Have fun telling a story with your colors!

Coloring Page Printing Tips

Print on a slightly thicker paper, like 24lb or 32lb, to give it a quality 'storybook' feel. This also helps prevent colors from bleeding if markers are used. Ensure the image is scaled to fit the page so no parts of Timmy's shell are cut off.

Recommended Tools

Colored pencils are great for the shell sections, allowing for more detailed coloring. Crayons are perfect for the larger areas like Timmy's head and the background. This is a great opportunity to talk about the stories each color might represent.
