Starfish Smile
Stella the starfish rests in a quiet spot near the beach. She stretches her five arms and smiles at the bubbles floating past. Small ocean visitors often stop to say hello. Give Stella a bright and cheerful style for her underwater day!
Stella’s Bubble Hello
Stella is stretching all five arms and smiling as little bubbles float by. She has found a calm spot where underwater visitors can stop for a friendly hello. Her simple star shape gives you lots of room to make a pattern that is all your own. Maybe Stella has polka dots, wavy stripes, or tiny hearts on each arm. Color her world softly, brightly, or as wild and wonderful as you please.
A Colorful Underwater Look
Sea stars can be orange, red, purple, pink, yellow, or brown, so Stella can wear almost any favorite color. Try making each arm a different shade, then add darker dots along the edges. Color the bubbles pale blue, leaving little white spaces to make them look shiny. The water behind Stella could be blue-green or deep blue. Add sandy tan or gray rocks below her to complete her cozy ocean home.
Sea Star Facts for Kids
Sea stars usually have five arms, but some kinds can have many more. They do not have a brain or blood like people do. Instead, they use seawater inside their bodies to help move their tiny tube feet. Sea stars can slowly travel over rocks and the sea floor. Some can grow back an arm if one is lost, although this takes time and depends on the kind of sea star.
