Blue tang colouring page
A blue tang 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.
Blue tang facts for kids
- Where it lives
- On coral reefs of the Indian and Pacific Oceans.
- How big it is
- As long as a book: up to 30 centimetres.
- What it eats
- Algae and tiny plankton.
- And also
- A sharp spine hides near its tail, like a surgeon's knife. That is where the name surgeonfish comes from.
What colours to use
The blue tang is royal blue with a black shape on its side that looks like a painter's palette, and a sunny yellow tail. Blue and yellow crayons are all you need.
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).
