Goldfish colouring page
A goldfish 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.
Goldfish facts for kids
- Where it lives
- In aquariums and ponds. People bred it in China more than a thousand years ago.
- How big it is
- Like a tangerine with a fluffy tail: about 15 centimetres.
- What it eats
- Plants, little worms and fish food.
- And also
- Its distant ancestor was a silvery carp. It turned golden living with people.
What colours to use
A goldfish is not only gold: it can be orange, red, white, black or patched like a calico cat. Shiny scales are easy to draw as rows of small arcs.
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).
