Easy dolphin coloring page with a smiling dolphin, curling wave, sun rays, clouds, and splashing water.

Dolphin Leaping Over a Curling Wave

A cheerful dolphin arcs above a tall curling wave while the round sun beams through clouds and sea spray pops below.

🎨 How to color it

Color the dolphin soft sky blue, the curling wave bright turquoise, the sun golden yellow, and the clouds pale lavender. Use chunky crayons or markers to fill the big dolphin body and sun first, then trace the wave curls slowly around the bubbles. Try making the wave darker blue inside the curl and lighter on the foamy splashes, like sunshine is touching the water.

The story behind this coloring page

Sora’s Wave-Making Game — Under the warm morning sun, Sora pressed her fins through the blue water and made a new game: swoosh, curl, splash. Read the full story →

Under the warm morning sun, Sora pressed her fins through the blue water and made a new game: swoosh, curl, splash. She wanted to build the roundest wave she could, one with a doorway of shining water. Each flip of her tail added another stripe, and each bubble felt like a tiny bead she had made herself.

The sea grew quiet around her. Even the gulls seemed to hold their scratchy calls. Sora leaped to see her wave from above and whispered, “I made that.”

Then the sun slipped between two clouds and laid long bright lines across the curl. Sora laughed softly. Her wave was not just hers now; it was a game for light, water, and fins together. Next time you see the curling splash below Sora, can you spot where the sun joined in?
