About these whale coloring pages

Whales of every size swim through these whale coloring pages, from a chubby narwhal and a spouting cartoon whale to a breaching humpback, belugas, gray whales and a giant blue whale. One simple whale fills each easy page for ages 3 to 5. Kids aged 6 to 8 can try a beluga and calf among ice or a humpback by an island, ages 9 and up get full ocean and coastal scenes, and teens and adults can tackle a mandala whale tail or narwhals under the northern lights.

Whales make a memorable size lesson: measure about 30 meters (100 feet) across the playground to show how long the biggest blue whales grow, then color the blue whale page. Use gray-blue for most whales and leave belugas white with soft gray shading.

Also in winter coloring pages.

Whale facts to share

  1. The blue whale is the largest animal known to have ever lived, even heavier than the biggest dinosaurs.
  2. Male humpback whales sing long, complex songs that can travel great distances underwater.
  3. A narwhal's long tusk is actually a tooth that grows out through its upper lip.

Color idea: Use slate blue and gray for whale backs, pale gray for bellies and throat pleats, and a soft green-and-violet glow for the northern lights.

Whale coloring page questions

Are narwhals real?

Yes. Narwhals are real whales that live in Arctic waters. The long spiral tusk, usually found on males, is a tooth that can grow longer than 2.5 meters (about 8 feet). The easy and expert pages both feature narwhals.

Which whale page is easiest?

The happy whale is the simplest, with one rounded body, a big misty spout and a single wave line. It suits ages 3 to 5. The chubby narwhal is a good second page for kids who want to try the spiral tusk.

Why do whales spout?

Whales breathe air through blowholes on top of their heads. When a whale surfaces and breathes out, warm moist air bursts out and forms a misty spout. Baleen whales such as humpbacks have two blowholes, while toothed whales have one.
