Gentle Giants Underwater Picnic

Three manatees glide slowly through swaying seagrass, their round bellies and wrinkled muzzles easy to spot. One chubby fellow floats above the sandy bottom, flippers out like he’s waving hello, while his friend explores the coral below. Tiny fish dart past their noses, and a playful baby manatee flaps her paddle-like tail nearby.

Sunbeams reach down through the water, making the seagrass wiggle and the coral look extra squiggly. The manatees’ calm faces show they feel right at home, surrounded by dancing bubbles and curious little fish. Their gentle shapes and the busy plants around them turn this underwater world into a peaceful, friendly scene.

Fun Fact!

Manatees are often called "sea cows" because they graze on underwater plants much like cows graze on grass in a field.

Coloring Tips

  1. 1 Use light gray or soft brown on the manatees’ skin for a gentle, smooth look.
  2. 2 Swirl together blue and green crayons to create a watery sea background.
  3. 3 Add bursts of orange or yellow to make the coral and little fish stand out.
  4. 4 Try tracing the seaweed in different shades of green for extra wiggle and pop.
