Shark Coloring Pages at a Glance

We opened every file in this set and checked it before publishing. Here is what you get.

  • Pages: 60 different shark scenes

  • Style: cute cartoon sharks with big eyes, wide smiles and thick outlines

  • Format: one PDF per picture, with a single page in each file

  • Paper size: A4 portrait, which also prints cleanly on US Letter when you choose Fit to page

  • File size: roughly 0.4 MB to 1 MB per PDF

  • Extras: many pages include a fun title in bubble letters, such as Crab Taxi and Star Catcher

  • Cost: free for personal and classroom use

Every shark in this set is an original cartoon drawn for our site. None of them come from a TV show, a movie or a song.

What You Will Find in This Collection

Each page stars a friendly shark, but the scenes cover very different ideas. As a result, kids can pick by favorite animal, hobby or mood.

Sharks and Their Ocean Friends

Animal lovers can start here. A shark hugs a starfish, greets a sea turtle and gives a hermit crab a taxi ride. Meanwhile, a remora tags along, a shrimp cleans a shark's teeth and an octopus starts a sponge pillow fight. You will also find a seahorse ride, a jellyfish parade, a snail race and a game of hide and seek.

Learning Pages for Little Ones

Next come the pages that teach while kids color. Count the Sharks practices numbers 1 to 5, and S Is for Shark introduces the letter S. In addition, Shape Shark, Pattern Shark and Puzzle Shark build early math skills, while Shark Feelings helps kids name happy, sleepy, silly and surprised faces.

Real Shark Types

Some pages point to real sharks. A spotted whale shark carries two fish on its back, and two hammerheads show off their wide heads with bows and a fish seesaw. Baby in the Egg even shows a shark pup hatching from a curly egg case.

Silly Fun, Treats and Bedtime

Finally, the playful pages bring the giggles. Sharks blow bubble gum, play a clam drum set, paint a rainbow and pop out of a jack in the box. Kids will also spot shark cookies, a shark popsicle, a shark lunchbox and a cozy shark hoodie. When the day ends, sharks drift off in starry pajamas, a seashell bed and a blanket of sand.

Real Shark Facts to Share While You Color

Cartoon sharks look silly, but real sharks are amazing. These facts pair nicely with the pages in this set.

  • More than 500 kinds of sharks swim in the ocean today, according to the Smithsonian Ocean team

  • The first sharks appeared more than 400 million years ago, long before the dinosaurs

  • A shark can lose and replace thousands of teeth in its lifetime, so the Tooth Fairy Shark page has plenty of work

  • Some sharks lay leathery egg cases, and people call the empty ones that wash ashore mermaid purses

  • The whale shark is the biggest fish in the world, yet it filter feeds and poses no danger to swimmers

  • Hammerhead sharks have a flat, wide head with an eye at each end, and scientists count 10 hammerhead species

  • A remora holds on to a shark with a sucking disk on top of its head and snacks on leftover scraps

Pick one fact for each page you color. That way, a fun craft turns into a quick ocean lesson.

How Hard Are These Shark Pages?

Most pages use thick lines and big open shapes, so they suit beginners. Some scenes add coral, bubbles or lots of small objects, which take more time.

  • Easiest picks: Smiling Baby Shark, Shape Shark, Shark Popsicle, Gap Tooth Grin, Shark Starfish Hug and Shark Feelings

  • Busiest picks: Shark Lemonade Stand, Shark Clam Drummer, Shark Coral Castle, Follow the Leader Shark, Shark Jellyfish Lantern Parade and Shark Coral Piano

Start with an easy page for a quick win. Then, move to a busy page when you want a longer, calmer session.

Best Ages and Skill Levels

Toddlers and preschoolers from about 2 to 5 do best with the easiest pages and chunky crayons. The learning pages also work well for preschool and kindergarten.

Kids from about 5 to 9 can handle most of the set. Many of them love the food pages and the silly scenes like Bubble Gum Shark.

Older kids, teens and adults can enjoy the busiest scenes with sharp colored pencils or gel pens. Coral, bubbles and patterns make a relaxing challenge.

How to Color a Cartoon Shark

Gray is the classic choice, but cartoon sharks can wear any color you like. Try one of these easy ideas.

  • Classic look: color the back gray or blue and keep the belly white, just like many real sharks

  • Ocean pop: try bright teal, turquoise or royal blue for a cheerful cartoon style

  • Pastel party: pick soft pink, lilac and mint for the balloon, teacup and bow pages

  • Whale shark spots: shade the body deep blue and leave every spot white

  • Pattern play: give each stripe, dot and wave on Pattern Shark its own color

Crayons cover big water backgrounds fast. Colored pencils handle small bubbles and coral. Markers give bold color, but they can bleed, so test them on the back of the page first. Our comparison of crayons, colored pencils and markers explains which tool fits each job. Also, our guide on how to color with colored pencils shows simple layering steps for smooth shading.

How to Print Shark Coloring Pages

Printing takes less than a minute. Follow these steps for clean, centered pages.

  1. Select Download PDF under the picture you like.

  2. Open the file and choose Print.

  3. Pick A4 or US Letter to match your paper. Each PDF is A4 portrait, so choose Fit to page if you use Letter.

  4. Keep the orientation on portrait.

  5. Use black and white mode to save ink, because every page is simple line art.

Shark Party and Classroom Ideas

  • Shark birthday party: set out pages and crayons as a calm activity before cake time

  • Shark Week fun: color one page each day and share a real shark fact with it

  • Dental health lesson: pair Brush Brush Shark, Shrimp Tooth Cleaner and Tooth Fairy Shark with a talk about brushing

  • Feelings chat: color Shark Feelings, then ask kids to share how they feel today
