Baby Shark Coloring Pages for Kids Who Are Still Singing “Doo Doo Doo”
If you know, you know. The song starts and something happens to your child that you can only describe as a full-body activation. The fingers come up. They tap together. The mouth opens. And somewhere in your head, the loop begins — doo doo doo doo doo doo — and will not stop for approximately the next six hours.
You are that parent. You have heard this song more times than you can count. And you also know, if you are being honest, that watching your child light up like that is one of the small, specific joys of this season of parenting.
These free Baby Shark coloring pages (inspired by the song) are for the child who loves the song, loves the ocean, loves sharks in all their friendly cartoon glory — and deserves to see themselves swimming right alongside them.
A Note from Louisa (Founder of MyKidColors)
My daughter does this thing when Baby Shark comes on. She taps her fingers together — making the shark mouth — and sings along with a concentration that I find completely unreasonable for someone her age. It is adorable in a way that I was not prepared for.
Less searching. More MEANINGFUL moments.
When kids recognize themselves on the page, coloring changes.
The Inclusive Family Coloring Collection includes 25 human-drawn illustrations centered on everyday moments — designed to make inclusion feel normal, joyful, and intentional.
Because representation shouldn’t be reserved for one month.
What strikes me every time is that the song is really about family. Baby Shark, Mommy Shark, Daddy Shark. The ocean is just the setting. The real story is about a little one who belongs to something bigger than themselves.
That is what these pages are for. The ocean adventure, yes. But underneath it: the child who is already so certain of where they belong.
Conversation Corner: 3 Questions to Ask While Coloring
Turn this activity into a bonding moment. While your child colors, try asking these questions:
- For “Splash Play” (Page 3): “What do you think makes the ocean fun and exciting to explore?”
- For “Ocean Classroom” (Page 9): “What would you like to learn about sharks or sea animals?”
- For “OCEAN FRIENDS: BABY SHARK ADVENTURE” (Page 15): “If you could go on an underwater adventure, what would you hope to see?”
The Collection: 15 Free Baby Shark Coloring Pages
We have organized these into three sets to help you teach creativity, exploration, and ocean learning—from simple fun to bigger adventures.
For Little Hands: Friendly Ocean Fun (Pages 1–5)
Best for toddlers and preschoolers. These pages focus on simple shapes, playful scenes, and easy coloring.
- Page 1: introduces “Baby Shark,” with a simple smiling baby shark swimming with bubbles, making it perfect for young children.
- Pages 2 & 3: explore “Cute Ocean Crew” and “Splash Play,” helping children enjoy friendly sea creatures and playful beach moments.
- Pages 4 & 5: show “Ocean Hug” and “Sand & Sea Day,” combining friendship, comfort, and beach fun.
Ocean Learning & Family Adventure (Pages 6–10)
Perfect for elementary kids. These pages highlight movement, family fun, and educational exploration.
- Page 6: “Underwater Dance,” shows rhythmic movement and joyful underwater fun with sharks and fish.
- Pages 7 & 8: “Ocean Family Scene” and “Submarine Adventure,” encourage family bonding and curiosity through exploration.
- Pages 9 & 10: “Ocean Classroom” and “Beach Day with Pet,” blend learning, ocean discovery, and relaxing beach moments.
The Full Adventure & Ocean Discovery (Pages 11–15)
Designed for older kids or deeper reflection. These pages combine creativity, education, and storytelling.
- Page 11: “Ocean World Layers,” teaches children about the different ocean zones where sharks live.
- Pages 12 & 13: “Shark Pattern Mandala” and “Cultural Beach Gathering,” encourage relaxation, creativity, and family connection.
- Pages 14 & 15: “Before & After Ocean Day” and the hero page bring everything together with adventure, storytelling, and joyful ocean exploration.
Perfect for Classrooms, Homeschools, and Rainy Day Entertainment
These pages work as ocean unit activities, quiet time printables, swim class celebration crafts, and screen-free alternatives to hitting play on the song for the forty-seventh time today. A few ways to extend the fun:
- Sing & Color Activity: Put the song on — one time, with intention — and have your child color Page 1 while it plays. After the song ends, turn it off and keep coloring in quiet. You will be surprised how long the coloring continues after the music stops. The song primes the imagination. The coloring sustains it.
- Ocean Habitat Learning: Use Pages 7, 8, and 11 together as an introduction to ocean habitats. The shallow water, the coral reef, the deep ocean — three completely different environments, three different pages. After coloring, look up one real creature from each zone together. A clownfish, a sea turtle, an anglerfish. Over three sessions you have covered basic marine biology without it feeling like a lesson.
- My Shark Family: After coloring Page 5, the shark family scene, invite your child to create their own shark family. What are their names? What does each one do? What is the baby shark’s favorite food? For children who love the family structure of the song, this creative extension tends to grow into a fully realized world with its own rules and characters. Worth keeping the drawings.
Why We Choose Hand-Drawn Over AI
The Baby Shark song is many things. But at its core it is about a small creature who belongs to a family, swimming through a big and beautiful world, safe because of the love around them.
That is a human story. And human stories are drawn best by human hands.
Our human illustrator drew the child in swim goggles waving at a shark without fear. The family at the beach with the ocean right there. The child in bed, fighting sleep, clutching a stuffed shark because sometimes comfort looks like the thing that thrills you most.
These details do not come from a generator. They come from someone who understands that childhood is specific, and that what children deserve in their coloring pages is not a reproduction of what they already see on screen — but a new scene to step into, one that includes them.
Frequently Asked Questions
How can I use these pages for Shark Week activities?
These pages are perfect for Shark Week lessons, combining coloring with ocean facts, books, and videos.
My toddler is obsessed with Baby Shark but is scared of real sharks. Are any of these pages going to cause anxiety?
No. The sharks in Pages 1 through 10 are drawn with the same friendly, rounded, cartoon energy that makes the Baby Shark song feel safe rather than scary. They smile. They wave. They swim next to children without any menace at all. Pages 11 and 12, which go deeper into the ocean, have more detail and atmosphere — if your child is particularly sensitive, start with Pages 1 through 5 and stay there until they ask for more. The deeper ocean pages are best for children who are specifically excited by the idea of the unknown, not unsettled by it.
Can I use these for a shark-themed birthday party?
You can also cut out finished pages for decorations, use them for storytelling prompts, or display the hero page as ocean-themed wall art.
My child is learning to swim and has mixed feelings about the water. Could these pages help?
Yes, and specifically Pages 9 and 10. Page 9 shows a child learning to float — the moment of letting go and trusting the water — drawn with an expression that is honest about how hard that is and how good it feels when it works. Page 10 shows a parent in the water beside a child, right there, the ocean close but not overwhelming. For a child who is working through water anxiety, coloring these pages and talking about what the child in the picture might be feeling can be a low-pressure way to process some of that before the next swim class.
Are there pages that work for a classroom ocean unit?
After coloring Page 12, the child on the boat looking into the water, challenge your child to name five creatures they might see if they looked down through the glass-bottom floor of a boat. Write their list on the back of the page. Then look up whether each one actually lives in an ocean near you, or somewhere else in the world. This is a natural entry point into ocean geography and biodiversity, delivered entirely by a child’s imagination.

The song will get stuck in your head again. That much is guaranteed. But while it plays, your child can be coloring pages where they are right there in the ocean — swimming, exploring, belonging.
And so are children who look like them.
