Each printable page fits a standard 8 ½ by 11 inch piece of paper. Pair these pages with additional sea creatures to make your own ocean themed coloring book!

Instead of markers you can color in these pages using a variety of art supplies including watercolor paints and watercolor pencils.

Baby Sea Turtles

Hatching from their eggs, these three baby turtles are adorable! As you color, add a background to go along with the scene. A sandy beach or even the ocean in the distance.

After they hatch, baby sea turtles rush to the ocean. In the sand, these reptiles are easy prey for animals including birds. Once in the water, they begin their journey out to sea.

The second version features just three baby turtles. If coloring in these sheets with young children it would be fun to pair this page with the three turtles hatching in the eggs.

As they color, your kids can even come up with a story to go along with these sheets! They can describe the location along with their journey!

Leatherback Sea Turtle

The next printable features a large leatherback sea turtle. The largest of the sea turtles, these are magnificent reptiles. Unlike other sea turtles, leatherbacks do not have a hard shell. (source)

On the endangered species list, the population of these turtles is declining. Books along with online resources are great resources for learning about these ocean animals.
