Color choices

Sea turtle shells can begin with olive green and warm brown, while flippers and spotted heads use lighter green tones. Color the broad water and sandy shore first, then fill the eggs, nest, shells, bubbles, and seashells. Combine turquoise water with golden sand, using coral or purple on the sea grass for contrast. Finish the sun, clouds, palm trees, and distant island.

Follow the Shoreline Story

Tell the journey from the nest across the sand and into the ocean, using each turtle’s position as the next part of the story.
