Lobster Coloring Page
About This Coloring Page
The lobster is the sea creature with the two enormous claws, and the page gives it the whole sea floor: a smiling lobster with both claws raised, two long antennae, a row of little legs on each side, a scallop shell beside it, two tufts of seaweed and a trail of bubbles rising to the top of the page.
The claws are two big rounded shapes for broad strokes, the body is one long oval, and the legs are a row of small ovals to count and colour one at a time. The antennae are two long curves to trace, the shell is a fan of ridges, and the bubbles are circles scattered up the page.
Ask how many legs the lobster has and what the claws are for. Then count the bubbles together, and the page becomes a counting page with an ocean on it.

How to Use This Coloring Page
- Claws first. The two big claws in one colour, then the long body and the face.
- Then the legs and the antennae. Each little leg its own stroke, then the two long feelers in one line each.
- Shell, seaweed and bubbles last. The ridged shell, the two seaweed tufts, then every bubble on the way up. Ask what the lobster is waving at.
