Cute Puffer Fish Colouring Page

Meet this cute puffer fish, a round little ocean character floating happily above a simple coral seabed. Puffer fish can make their bodies look bigger by taking in water when they need extra protection, and this friendly fish is showing off its round shape, soft-looking spines, bright eye, tiny fins and fan-shaped tail. Colour the main body golden yellow, sandy cream, coral orange, light green or any cheerful shade you invent. Make the large spots a contrasting colour such as orange, brown, turquoise or purple, then use a lighter shade for the belly area. The short spines can match the body or alternate between two colours. Try a warm pink for the small smiling mouth and pale blue for the bubbles, leaving tiny white highlights inside them. Colour the tail and fins with smooth strokes that fan outward from the body; adding a slightly darker edge will help each fin stand out. The seaweed can be green, teal or olive, while the coral could be pink, red or peach. Use beige and warm grey on the sand and rounded rocks. Work slowly around each spike, use circular strokes inside the spots, and keep the centre of the round body bright. This playful puffer fish is a fun way to practise staying inside bold outlines while imagining a gentle underwater adventure.
