Cute Seahorse Colouring Page

Meet this cheerful seahorse, a tiny ocean explorer with a long trumpet-shaped snout, a crown-like head ridge, a rounded belly, delicate fins and a wonderful curled tail. Seahorses are fish, but they swim upright and can wrap their tails around sea grass to rest. Start with a sunny yellow, warm orange, coral pink or gentle purple for the main body. Colour the wide belly bands in alternating shades, such as peach and gold, or blue and turquoise. The round spots can become a playful mix of pink, red, teal and violet. Use short, light strokes along the body segments, then follow the spiral of the tail with slow curved strokes so the colour stays smooth. Try a slightly darker shade along the outside edge of the curl and a lighter shade near the centre to make the tail look rounded. Colour the little side fin and broad back fin with pale blue, green or lavender, leaving thin white spaces between the rays if you like. Keep the tiny eye highlight white and add soft pink around the smiling mouth. The seaweed can be several greens, the coral peach or purple, the rocks sandy brown or grey, and the bubbles pale blue. Press gently for light water colours and more firmly for the seahorse so it stands out. This friendly page is perfect for practising curves, stripes and spots while imagining a slow swim through a calm underwater garden.
