What's In This Picture

At the center of the image, a large shark wears a frilly tutu around its middle and carries a small belt pouch for storing magical treasures. In one fin, the shark holds a fairy wand topped with a star, sending bubbles floating toward the surface. Below the shark, the sandy ocean floor is bustling with life. You can find a small crab looking up in wonder, a resting starfish, and various clumps of coral and seaweed. The shark’s mouth is open in a friendly smile, showing off rows of shark teeth that look more happy than hungry. Textured rocks and patches of sand provide plenty of details to fill with color.

Coloring Tips

For the shark, consider using soft blues or even a sparkly silver to match her magical personality. The tutu looks great in vibrant pinks, purples, or even a rainbow pattern to make it stand out against the blue water. Use bright oranges and reds for the crab and the starfish to create a nice contrast. The seaweed can be different shades of green, while the coral offers a chance to use your favorite bright colors like neon yellow or deep teal. If you want to make the fairy wand look like it is glowing, try coloring the star bright yellow and leaving a light halo of color around it.

Did You Know?

Did you know that sharks do not have any bones? Their skeletons are made of cartilage, which is the same flexible material found in your ears and the tip of your nose. This helps them stay light and swim quickly through the water. Even a fairy shark would be a very graceful swimmer because of this special skeleton.

Try This!

After you finish coloring, try giving this magical shark a name and imagining what kind of spells she casts with her wand. You could draw a treasure chest nearby or even more sea creatures wearing tiny party hats to join her underwater celebration. Writing a short story about her adventures can help bring the whole scene to life.
