Butterflyfish colouring page
A butterflyfish 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.
Butterflyfish facts for kids
- Where it lives
- On reefs in warm seas near Asia and Australia.
- How big it is
- Like a big apple: up to 20 centimetres.
- What it eats
- Little worms and shrimp it pulls out of cracks.
- And also
- Its long snout works like tweezers for picking food out of narrow gaps.
What colours to use
This butterflyfish is silvery white with tall orange stripes and a black spot near the tail that looks like an eye. The fake eye confuses hunters, so make it big and round.
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).
