Whale facts for kids
- Where it lives
- In the open ocean. In a year it swims halfway around the world.
- How big it is
- A blue whale is as long as three buses. Nothing is bigger.
- What it eats
- Tiny krill, but tonnes of them.
- And also
- Whales sing songs that other whales hear hundreds of kilometres away.
What colours to use
The blue whale is blue grey with a lighter, striped throat. It is the biggest animal on the planet, so use a big, bold colour.
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).
