Fun Things To Do With Your Sea Animals Coloring Pages

Create an Ocean Wall Mural

One fun idea is to turn several finished coloring sheets into a giant ocean mural. After kids finish coloring their sea animals coloring pages, cut out each animal carefully. Dolphins, turtles, fish, and whales will all become part of the underwater scene.

Next, tape or glue a large sheet of blue paper to the wall or use a long roll of craft paper. Kids can draw waves, coral, sand, and sea plants directly onto the background. Then they can glue their colored sea animals onto the mural to create a lively ocean habitat.

Teachers can hang the mural in a classroom, while parents can decorate a playroom or bedroom wall. The finished project looks bright and colorful and shows off all the hard work from the printable coloring pages.

Make Sea Animal Story Books

Another creative activity is to turn the coloring sheets into small story books. Start by printing several different sea animals coloring pages from the collection. Kids can color each page however they like.

Once the coloring is finished, stack the pages together and fold them in half. Staple along the fold to create a small book. On the first page, kids can write a title such as “My Ocean Adventure.”

Next, they can write a short sentence or two on each page about the sea animal they colored. For example, a child might write about a dolphin swimming through the waves or a turtle exploring coral reefs. This turns the printable coloring sheets into a fun reading and writing activity.

Create Ocean Animal Flash Cards

These coloring pages can also be turned into learning flash cards. Print several different sea animals coloring sheets and let kids color them carefully.

After coloring, cut out the animals or small sections of the pages. Glue each one onto a piece of cardstock or thick paper to make it stronger. On the back of each card, write the name of the sea animal and a fun fact about it.

For example, a card with a whale might include a fact about how whales communicate. A card with an octopus could mention its eight arms. Kids can use the flash cards to learn about ocean animals while enjoying the free printable coloring sheets they created.

Make an Ocean Mobile

An ocean mobile is a great craft that uses several coloring pages together. First, print and color a variety of sea animals such as fish, turtles, jellyfish, and seahorses.

Next, cut out each colored animal from the printable coloring sheets. Punch a small hole at the top of each one and tie a piece of string through the hole.

Then attach the strings to a hanger, stick, or embroidery hoop. Space the animals at different heights so they hang at different levels. When finished, the mobile will gently move when air flows through the room.

Hang the ocean mobile near a window, in a classroom reading corner, or above a child’s bed. The colorful sea animals will look like they are swimming in the air.

Design Ocean Greeting Cards

Finished coloring pages can easily become handmade greeting cards. Start by printing and coloring sea animals coloring sheets with bright colors.

Next, cut out the favorite sea animals from the printable coloring pages. Fold a piece of cardstock in half to form the base of a card. Glue the colored animal onto the front.

Kids can decorate the rest of the card with waves, bubbles, and sea plants. Inside the card, they can write a message such as “Have a Fin-tastic Day” or “You Are Jaw-some.”

These handmade cards are perfect for birthdays, thank-you notes, or classroom projects. Using the free printable coloring sheets makes each card unique and personal.

Create Sea Animal Masks

Another exciting craft is turning the coloring sheets into sea animal masks. Print coloring pages that show animals with clear faces such as sharks, dolphins, or turtles.

After kids finish coloring, carefully cut out the face of the animal. Then cut two small holes where the eyes should be so the child can see through the mask.

Glue the mask onto thicker paper or cardstock to make it more durable. Attach a craft stick to the bottom or tie elastic string on both sides so the mask can be worn.

Kids can pretend they are swimming in the ocean as their favorite sea animals. This activity works great for ocean-themed parties or classroom plays.

Make a Sea Animal Puzzle

You can also turn printable coloring sheets into homemade puzzles. First, print and color one of the sea animals coloring pages.

Once the page is finished, glue the coloring sheet onto a piece of cardboard from a cereal box. Let the glue dry completely so the page becomes sturdy.

Next, draw puzzle shapes on the back using a pencil. Cut along the lines to create several puzzle pieces. Younger kids can have large pieces while older kids can try smaller ones.

Mix up the pieces and challenge kids to rebuild the picture. This activity gives the coloring pages a second life as a fun game.

Create Ocean Bookmarks

Bookmarks are another easy project using these free printable coloring sheets. Choose sea animals coloring pages that show small animals or simple scenes.

After coloring, cut out long strips that include the sea animals. Glue the strips onto cardstock to make them stronger. Trim the edges neatly and round the corners if you like.

At the top of the bookmark, punch a hole and add a piece of yarn or ribbon. Kids can pick ocean colors like blue or green to match the theme.

These bookmarks are great for school reading time or bedtime stories. Every time kids open their book, they will see the sea animals they colored from the printable PDF coloring pages.
