Tuna Ocean Colouring Challenge

Meet this speedy Tuna, a strong ocean fish with a smooth torpedo-shaped body, pointed snout, tiny rear finlets and a powerful crescent tail. Tuna are built for long-distance swimming and often travel through open water in groups called schools. Their narrow tail base and curved tail fin help push them forward with quick, steady beats. Children can colour the back deep navy, cobalt or ocean blue, blend the sides with silver-grey or turquoise, and leave the belly pale cream or white. Make the little finlets bright yellow or golden orange, colour the main fins blue-grey, and add a darker edge to the crescent tail. Fill the seaweed with many greens, use coral pink, red or purple on the branching coral, and colour the smooth seabed rocks sandy tan or cool grey. Add light blue around the bubbles and water lines, keep the eye sparkle white, and use long strokes from head to tail to show the Tuna's streamlined shape.
