Coloring ideas for Jellyfish
Jellyfish can shimmer in so many wonderful colors like soft pink, bright blue, sunny yellow, lavender, and even glowing green. Some look almost see-through, with magical rainbow hues gliding across their bodies. Their tentacles can be colorful too, swirling in shades of purple, orange, or silver. For the underwater background, you can use deep blue for the ocean, add sandy beige for the sea floor, and splash in some green for the seaweed. Don’t forget the fun little bubbles floating all around in white or light blue!

What is a Jellyfish?
A jellyfish is a soft-bodied sea creature that drifts gently through the oceans, looking like a floating umbrella with wiggly tentacles underneath. These amazing animals have been around for over 500 million years, making them older than dinosaurs! Most jellyfish live for only a few months, but some special kinds can live much longer. They can range in size from tiny as a pea to as large as a basketball or even bigger. Their bodies are made mostly of water, and they feel squishy and slippery. Jellyfish do not make sounds like roars or squeaks, but they move gracefully by pulsing their bell-shaped bodies. They catch small fish and plankton with their tentacles, using gentle stings to grab their food. Found in oceans all over the world, jellyfish come in all shapes, sizes, and sparkling colors, adding a touch of magic to the deep blue sea.
