What's In This Picture
In the center of the action, Santa Claus balances on a surfboard, wearing his iconic Santa hat, a festive Hawaiian shirt, shorts, and sunglasses. He rides a massive wave that curls over a giant whale and jumping dolphins. High above in the clouds, Santa's sleigh is pulled by a team of magical seahorses, while a few reindeer cheer from the sidelines.
The underwater world is bursting with life, featuring sea turtles, octopuses, and many colorful fish swimming through bubbles. You will find a lighthouse and a decorated Christmas tree near the shore. Look for festive details like Christmas ornaments, candy canes, and candies tucked into the coral reefs. There are even gifts floating through the water, waiting to be discovered.
Coloring Tips
Since this is a tropical scene, you can use a wide variety of bright, sunny colors. For the ocean wave, try blending different shades of blue and turquoise, leaving some white space for the foam and bubbles. Santa's Hawaiian shirt is a great place to use bold patterns like red, yellow, or green to make it look extra festive.
The sea creatures offer a chance to experiment with vibrant purples for the octopuses and deep greens for the sea turtles. To make the Christmas ornaments and candy canes pop against the blue water, use traditional holiday reds and golds. Using colored pencils or fine-tip markers will help you fill in the smaller details like the tiny candies and the delicate coral branches.
Did You Know?
Did you know that some people really do celebrate Christmas on the beach? In places like Australia and Hawaii, the holiday falls during the warm summer months. Instead of building snowmen, families often head to the shore to surf, swim, and have a festive barbecue under the sun.
Try This!
After you finish coloring, try to find all the hidden candy canes tucked away in the coral. You can also draw your own sea creature wearing a tiny Santa hat in the corner of the page. Share your masterpiece with a friend and see who can find the most hidden gifts first.
