Otter Floating with a Daisy Coloring Page

About this coloring picture

This coloring page shows a smiling otter floating on its back in a pond while holding a large daisy. The otter has a round head with small ears, big shiny eyes, a rounded nose, whiskers, a few freckle dots on its cheek and a cheerful curved mouth. Its paws grip the long daisy stem, and the flower has many rounded petals around a circular center, with one pointed leaf on the stem. The otter's round belly, two hind feet and long curved tail are outlined with smooth, bold lines.

The pond scene fills the rest of the page. A small dragonfly with four wings, a striped body and a smiling face hovers above the otter. Cattail plants stand at the upper left, upper right and lower left, each with tall blade-like leaves and brown seed heads drawn as simple rounded shapes. Three lily pads, each with a wedge notch cut out, float around the otter. Wavy water lines, ripple rings around the plant bases and several small round bubbles of different sizes add movement to the water.

Coloring ideas are completely open. The otter could be warm brown with a lighter cream muzzle and belly, and the daisy might be white, yellow or pink with a golden center. Lily pads and cattail leaves look lovely in shades of green, while the cattail heads can be dark brown. The dragonfly invites bright colors such as blue, purple or orange. Crayons are handy for the large body and pads, while colored pencils or fine markers help with the whiskers, petals and wings. The background is white, so you can leave the water plain or add light blue shading.

You can print the sheet directly from the page, download it as a PDF for printing at home or school, or use the Color Online option to color the PNG artwork on a screen. This page is taller than it is wide, so portrait orientation on letter or A4 paper fits it well. Heavier paper helps if you plan to use markers or watercolor pencils.
