What's In This Picture

In the center of the page, a large cartoon whale arches its back as it jumps from the sea. Its belly has smooth lines, and its fins are spread wide for balance. Directly behind the whale is a massive, block-style letter W that fills the background. You can see droplets of water flying in every direction from the impact of the whale's movement. At the bottom, stylized waves ripple across the surface, showing where the whale just emerged. The whale's face is very expressive, with a happy mouth and a friendly eye watching the world.

Coloring Tips

For the whale, try using various shades of blue or even a soft grey to make it look realistic yet fun. You can color the letter W in a bright, contrasting color like yellow or orange so it stands out from the blue water. Use a very light blue or a shimmering silver for the water splashes to give them a wet look. If you want to add more detail, you can use a darker blue for the waves at the bottom and a lighter blue for the sky area around the letter. Crayons or markers work great for filling in the large shapes of the letter and the whale's body.

Did You Know?

Did you know that some whales can hold their breath for over an hour? Even though they live in the ocean, they are mammals and need to come to the surface to breathe air through a blowhole on top of their heads.

Try This!

After coloring, try to think of other words that start with the letter W, like water, wave, or winter. You can also practice writing the letter W on the back of the page to help remember how it looks.
