Sea Turtle on the Shore
Tilly the sea turtle has stopped on the shore for a peaceful rest. Her strong flippers carried her through rolling ocean waves. She enjoys listening to the gentle sound of the sea. Add beautiful details to Tilly’s shell before she continues her journey!
Tilly’s Quiet Shore Stop
Tilly has paddled through the ocean and is taking a calm break on the sandy shore. Her large front flippers help her swim through the waves, while her shell is like a sturdy traveling home. Look closely at all the shell spaces: each one is waiting for a color, pattern, or tiny design. Will Tilly be resting at sunrise, on a sunny afternoon, or beneath a pink evening sky?
Colors for a Seaside Turtle
Try forest green or olive green for Tilly’s shell, then add lighter green, brown, or golden lines inside its shapes. Her head and flippers could be soft green with little dark spots. Make the sand pale yellow, tan, or peach. Behind her, color the sea blue and turquoise, with white wave tips. A bright yellow sun or a few gray-blue clouds can make the beach feel even more peaceful.
Sea Turtle Facts for Kids
Sea turtles live in oceans all around the world. They use their powerful flippers to swim, but on land they move much more slowly. Many mother sea turtles come ashore to lay eggs in the sand. Baby turtles hatch and hurry toward the water. A turtle’s shell is part of its body, so it cannot climb out of it like a cartoon character might!
