What's In This Picture

In the center of the page, you will find a large, smiling mother whale swimming alongside her smaller baby whale. Above them, the words Whale-y Great Mom are written in a fun, bubbly font. Small fish dart around the whales, while a friendly starfish rests near the vibrant coral at the bottom.\n\nGentle waves and water splashes appear at the top, suggesting the whales are near the surface. Throughout the scene, many round bubbles float upward, adding texture to the water. The background is filled with oceanic details like swaying sea plants and rocky elements that complete this lively marine habitat.

Coloring Tips

For the whales, try using different shades of blue or gray to distinguish the mother from her calf. You might use a lighter sky blue for the baby and a deeper navy for the mother. The coral and starfish offer a great chance to use bright, contrasting colors like pink, orange, or yellow to make the bottom of the ocean floor pop.\n\nTo create the look of water, consider using a very light blue or teal wash for the background. You can leave the bubbles white or give them a tiny hint of iridescent purple or silver. Using a glitter pen or a metallic marker on the text can help the message stand out even more against the blue surroundings.

Did You Know?

Did you know that a baby whale is called a calf? Whale mothers are very protective and stay close to their calves for a long time to teach them how to swim and find food. Some whale species even sing songs to communicate with each other across miles of ocean water!

Try This!

After coloring, children can write a special message to their own mother on the back of the page. You could also try to count all the bubbles in the picture or research what kind of fish live near whales in the real ocean.
