Coloring ideas for Salmon
Salmon can be silver, pink, red, or even a shiny greenish-blue. Their bellies are often lighter, and they might have little speckles on their backs. Try silver with a splash of pink for the body, white for the belly, and soft blue water all around. You can add pebbles, plants, bubbles, and even a bear watching from the riverbank for fun.

What is a Salmon?
Salmon are strong, fast-swimming fish that live in both the ocean and freshwater rivers. They are born in rivers, swim out to sea as they grow, and then return to the same river to lay their eggs. Salmon can weigh between 5 and 30 pounds (2 to 14 kilograms), and some live up to 7 years. Their bodies are covered in shiny scales and they are great jumpers, able to leap over rocks and waterfalls during their long journey upstream. Salmon eat insects, smaller fish, and plankton when they’re young, and as they grow, they enjoy a seafood diet in the ocean. These fish play a big part in nature, helping feed animals like bears and birds. They’re also important for healthy rivers and forests, making them a wonderful animal to learn about and celebrate through coloring.
