Bold easy whale coloring page with a smiling whale, round sun, and rolling ocean waves.

Smiling Whale Under the Big Sun

A cheerful whale glides above two curling waves, smiling wide while a big round sun hangs in the open sky.

🎨 How to color it

Color the whale sky blue, the big round sun lemon yellow, and the two curling waves a bright ocean teal. Use chunky crayons or broad markers for the whale’s large body and let little hands cross the thick black lines if they want. Add a silly pink cheek beside the whale’s smile, or make the sun striped like a beach ball.

Every day, Willa swam under the warm sun: swish, swish, hum. She wanted something she made all by herself, so she patted the water with her flippers. Plop! A tiny wave hat popped up.

Then she made two. Because of that, the waves wiggled. Because of THAT, one wave hat slid onto her nose. “Ta-da!” Willa giggled. Finally, she tipped her tail and made the biggest wave hat yet. Next time you see her smile, can you spot the proud little maker under the sun?
