Pufferfish facts for kids
- Where it lives
- In warm seas, most often near the coasts of Asia.
- How big it is
- Usually like a small ball, and some grow up to half a metre.
- What it eats
- Shellfish, crabs and sea urchins.
- And also
- When scared, it gulps water and swells into a spiky ball.
What colours to use
Pufferfish are often sandy yellow or brown with dark spots and a pale belly. Add short spikes around the outline if you want it puffed up.
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).
