Tiger Shark Coloring Page

This tiger shark coloring page shows a friendly-looking shark gliding through open water. The blunt snout, row of teeth, gill slits, and vertical stripes give kids plenty of detail to fill in. It is a medium-difficulty page that works well for children ages 6 to 10 who enjoy ocean animals.

Coloring ideas

• Use gray or blue-gray for the body and add darker vertical stripes along the back.
• Color the belly a lighter shade, such as cream or pale yellow.
• Try a deep blue or teal background to suggest the ocean.
• Add small white bubbles or wavy lines near the tail for movement.
• Keep the teeth white and the eye dark for a clean finish.

Quick fact and activity

Tiger sharks get their name from the dark stripes that run down their backs, much like a tiger’s coat. After coloring, ask your child to draw a simple map of the ocean and place the tiger shark where it might swim. You can also compare the tiger shark’s blunt snout to the pointed snout of a great white shark and talk about how different shapes help animals move through water.
