Shark Activity Coloring Pages for Kids {Printables}

Everyone knows of the yearly phenomenon known as Shark Week (on the Discovery Channel the first week in July) and we love it! It is a whole week of fantastic shark videos and shows where we enjoy watching these marvelous creatures from a (very) safe distance.

We learn so much from the shows and I wanted to offer some free shark activity coloring pages for your kids to really “bring it home” while still staying safe, haha.

Homeschool Printables: Shark Coloring Pages for Kids

In this post, you will be able to print out a beautiful set of six coloring pages, including a coloring book cover page. They are great and with many opportunities to practice coloring for you kids. These pages will keep them entertained for a long time. You could even have an art show where your children display their favorite shark work of art.

This is a very versatile book, with ink and paper-saving options. You can print each page as a full-size page, one-sided, which is what I would do for my 4-year old daughter. She likes big pages and, since her fine motor skills still need refining, I give her bigger pictures with bigger coloring spaces. I stack the pages and then staple along the right side of the page, length-wise. She is left-handed, so having the crease on the right side instead of the left.

For my 6-year old, with more refined fine motor skills, I can set up my printer to print 2 pages on one sheet of paper. Then I cut the sheets in half, stack them up and staple along the left side, lengthwise. And there’s his little coloring book! If I wanted to save ink, paper AND extra prep steps, I could print 2 pages on one sheet, but make it double-sided. That way, I would only use 3 pages. When it is ready, All I need to do is stack the pages, fold them in half and staple the booklet twice to keep the pages together. Isn’t that awesome?
