Anglerfish colouring page
A anglerfish outline for children aged 3 to 8, with short facts to read together. Colour it in the Live Aquarium app and it turns into a swimming 3D creature.
This sheet is printed from the app: open "From paper" and tap "Printable coloring pages (for grown-ups)". Printing is free. Ten sheets can be printed from this site.
Anglerfish facts for kids
- Where it lives
- Deep in the ocean, where it is always dark.
- How big it is
- Usually the size of a ball, and the biggest are about a metre long.
- What it eats
- Fish and shrimp that swim towards its light.
- And also
- It has a fishing rod with a lantern on its head. Glowing bacteria light it up.
What colours to use
The deep sea anglerfish is dark brown or black, because it lives where there is no sunlight. Colour the little lantern on its head bright yellow so it glows.
In the aquarium any colours work: the creature will swim exactly as your child coloured it.
Bring it to life
In the Live Aquarium app the same outline can be coloured on the screen with brushes, fills and stamps, and then it swims in a 3D aquarium, can be fed, petted and named. A printed and coloured sheet can be photographed in the app (with Plus).
