What’s Next?
Once you’ve downloaded the coloring pages, here’s how kids, parents and teachers can get even more from them:
- Print the sheets and set up a coloring station with crayons, colored pencils or markers—making it a fun independent or quiet-time activity.
- After coloring, turn the finished pages into a display—hang them on the wall, create a “dolphin gallery” on the fridge or in the classroom to celebrate each child’s work.
- Use the pages as an entry point for learning: talk about dolphins, where they live, how they swim, what a “pod” is; ask children what colors they choose or why.
- For teachers or homeschoolers: integrate the coloring sheets into a broader lesson—e.g., after coloring a dolphin scene, kids can write a short story about their dolphin’s day or design their own underwater scene.
- Finally, scan or photograph the finished artwork and make a digital album or slideshow to share with family, friends or classmates. Turn a simple, easy, cute coloring activity into an extended creative project.
Fun Facts for Kids
- Dolphins can “talk” to each other using whistles, clicks and body language—and each dolphin has its own unique whistle like a name!
- Dolphins sleep with one half of their brain awake so they can keep swimming and breathing when they rest.
- Some dolphins can swim faster than 20 miles per hour (over 30 km/h), letting them leap high out of the water and play in waves.
