Squid colouring page
A squid 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.
Squid facts for kids
- Where it lives
- In the open sea, from the surface down to the deep.
- How big it is
- Often as long as a ruler; a giant squid is as long as a bus.
- What it eats
- Small fish and shrimp.
- And also
- A squid swims like a rocket: it takes in water and shoots it out.
What colours to use
A squid is pinkish white or reddish and can flash different colours. Give it big eyes: squid have some of the largest eyes in the sea.
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).
