About these shark coloring pages
By The Color Page Team · Updated · How we make them
Looking for shark coloring pages for your ocean-loving kid? These free printable pages have a kawaii shark, a great white in open water, a hammerhead on the sea floor, a spotted whale shark and three sharks swimming together. Print one page or the whole set as a free PDF, on US Letter or A4.
The easy pages are friendly sharks with big shapes for preschool and kindergarten. The detailed pages have kelp forests and coral mazes for older kids. Nothing here is gory or scary, and they're our own drawings, not characters from any song or show.
Which shark page should we print?
- Little kids: the kawaii shark, the shark and fish and the simple whale shark have big, simple shapes.
- Real shark fans: the hammerhead, the whale shark and the great white show three very different sharks.
- Older kids and grown-ups: the kelp forest, the coral maze and the underwater volcano have lots of detail.

Tips for Coloring a Shark
- Gray on top, white below. Most real sharks are dark on the back and pale on the belly.
- Whale sharks have spots. Color it dark blue-gray and leave the spots white.
- Blue works too. A blue shark is a real species, so blue is a fine choice.
- Color the water in layers. Go light near the top of the page and darker near the bottom.
