What's In This Picture
As you look at the page, you will find a cheerful shark with a wide, happy mouth showing off his rows of teeth. He is wearing a tall party hat that features fun decorations and small beads along the base. In his fin, he carefully balances a small cupcake that has a single lit candle on top.
You can also see the shark's gills on his side and his powerful tail and fins behind him. The shark has a large, friendly eye that makes him look very approachable and kind. Every part of this image is designed with bold lines that are easy to fill with your favorite shades.
Coloring Tips
For the shark, you might choose classic shades like ocean blue or a soft slate gray. To make the birthday theme pop, use vibrant colors like neon yellow or bright red for the party hat and the beads. The cupcake frosting could be any flavor you imagine, such as strawberry pink or mint green.
You can even use a gold or orange crayon to make the candle flame look like it is really flickering. Since the lines are clear and simple, this is a great page for practicing staying inside the lines while experimenting with different textures for the shark's skin and the fluffy cake. Try using a lighter touch for the underbelly of the shark to give him a more realistic look.
Did You Know?
Did you know that some sharks can have thousands of teeth throughout their lives? While this shark only has a few showing for his birthday smile, real sharks constantly grow new teeth to replace old ones. It is like having a never-ending supply of tools for eating! This means they never have to worry about losing a tooth while enjoying a birthday snack.
Try This!
After coloring, you could draw some fish friends swimming around the shark to join the party. You might also want to write a Happy Birthday message in the empty space around the shark or draw some colorful balloons floating in the water. Creating a whole underwater party scene is a great way to extend the fun after you finish coloring the main character.
