More about this collection
The sea is full of colour, so this is a good place to try new shades: turquoise water, orange fish and a purple octopus. Ask your child which animal is the biggest, which has eight arms and which one carries its home on its back.
Every picture here prints on A4 or US Letter paper, or can be coloured online in the Crayonbird Studio: fill the shapes with the paint bucket, add details with pencils and markers, then save or print the result. The outlines are bold and the shapes are closed, so they work just as well with crayons, felt tips or paint. Use the age buttons to find simpler pictures for little ones or busier scenes for older children.
How to use these
- Let your child choose the picture: picking is half the fun and keeps them keen.
- Print on thicker paper for felt tips or paint, so the colour does not soak through.
- Colour a picture on screen first, then print the favourite and colour it again by hand.

Questions and answers
What is the difference between these and the ocean colouring pages?
This collection is all about the animals. The ocean collection also includes boats, lighthouses and beach days, and mixes in other sea-themed activities.
Which sea animals suit the youngest children?
The fish, whale, octopus and crab pictures have large shapes for ages 3 and up. The reef and rock pool scenes are busier and suit ages 5 to 10.
Can my child colour these pictures online?
Yes. Choose Colour online on any picture to open it in the Crayonbird Studio. Fill shapes with the paint bucket, pick colours from the palette, then save or print the finished picture. It works on tablets, phones and computers.
What paper and crayons work best?
Ordinary printer paper is fine for crayons and coloured pencils. For felt tips, markers or paint, use thicker paper or card so the colour does not bleed through. Chunky crayons are easiest for small hands.
Are these printables free?
You can try them with a free account: it includes a few prints and plays, with no card needed. A Family or Teacher plan gives you unlimited printing and playing, plus every premium item.
How do I print a sheet?
Open a sheet and choose Print. It fits A4 and US Letter paper. Most sheets can also print with an answer key on a separate page.
