Seahorse coloring pages

Seahorse coloring pages are a collection of drawings that introduce children to one of the most unusual inhabitants of warm tropical seas. Seahorses belong to the pipefish family and are known for their magical appearance, resembling tiny horses or dragons. A long swim bladder and a large head help them keep an upright position in the water, unlike most other fish.

Their curled tails are very useful – seahorses wrap them around plants or corals to stay in place and not get carried away by the current. They are slow swimmers and prefer an ambush style of hunting, waiting for plankton, crustaceans, larvae, or small shrimp to drift close enough to catch.

Children can color seahorses in natural shades of yellow, orange, and brown, or use bright and unusual combinations to create a fairy-tale sea creature. Download or print free seahorse coloring pages in A4 format.
