About this worksheet
This plesiosaur has a friendly, rounded face with one big oval eye, a small dot nostril and a curved smile, sitting on top of a long S-shaped neck. Its body is one large oval, and it has four flippers of different sizes tucked around the sides, two on top and two below. Three round bubbles float in the space above and beside it, and a single wavy line runs along the bottom of the page to stand in for the sea.
Almost every shape here is big and closed off with a clear line, so a child can colour the neck, the body and each flipper without hunting for gaps to fit a crayon into. The bubbles are a nice place to try a different colour for each one, and the wavy water line at the bottom is short enough to trace in one go rather than several careful strokes. It is also a good page for talking about where the monster might be swimming to, since the scene is simple enough that a child's imagination can fill in the rest.
There is very little fine detail to fight with here, just the eye and nostril, which makes this one of the easier sheets in the ocean set. It suits younger colourers who are still working on staying inside larger lines, and it will not take long to finish, so it works well as a first attempt or a quick one before nap time.
How to use this sheet
Start with the body and neck, the biggest spaces, then move to the four flippers before the small eye and nostril. If a flipper goes over the line, colour the next one over the same edge to make it look deliberate.
