Mackerel colouring page
A mackerel 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.
Mackerel facts for kids
- Where it lives
- In the open sea, in the Atlantic and the Mediterranean.
- How big it is
- As long as a ruler: about 30 centimetres.
- What it eats
- Plankton and tiny fish.
- And also
- A mackerel has no swim bladder, so it keeps swimming without stopping.
What colours to use
A mackerel has a blue green back with dark tiger stripes and a silver belly. Leave the belly almost white and press harder on the back.
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).
