Turtle Coloring Page
About This Coloring Page
The turtle is the slow one with its house on its back, and this one is on land, out for a walk: a smiling turtle stepping across the grass with its head and legs out, a shell covered in big swirl patches, a little leaf sprouting from the top of its head, a smiling flower beside it and two soft clouds above.
The shell is the big piece, already divided into patches so a toddler can give each one its own colour. The head and legs are simple rounded shapes, and the swirls inside each patch are the careful tracing part for whoever wants it. The flower and the clouds are the easy extras to finish with.
Ask where the turtle is walking to and why it never hurries. Then cross the room as slowly as a turtle, and the page becomes the animal every child is told to be a little more like.
Skills Practiced
How to Use This Coloring Page
- Shell first, one patch at a time. Each swirl patch gets its own colour. Six colours, or two repeating, both look great.
- Then the head and legs. One colour for all of them so the turtle reads as one animal. Add the little leaf on its head.
- Flower, grass and clouds last. The smiling flower watching it go, a few grass tufts, two clouds. Ask what the turtle is smiling about.
