Have you been enjoying Melanie Hope Greenberg's free coloring pages? It's time to print out her latest Valentines coloring page featuring a heart-decorated whale and a couple of love-struck fish.
Print out the pdf (By clicking on the following link you agree to our terms of service* see end of post) -->: Download pdf and print Melanie's free valentines coloring page.
I've found that coloring pages have been a useful tool when kids need to exercise their fine motor skills. Some kids don't want to engage in writing activities for too long, but a coloring page offers an enticing, creative endeavor.
This cute sea life valentine coloring page also makes a unique alternative to traditional Valentine's Day cards. Roll up this, or one of our other Valentine's Day coloring pages, tie it, and a few crayons with a ribbon.
Or, if you have a party in February, include the coloring page as a party activity or party favor.

My 5 year old sidekick is already leaning over my shoulder and demanding that I print it. I'd say it's a hit! Thanks! Pinning.

The link for the coloring page shows the colored photograph (not the coloring page).
Erica MomandKiddo says
My apologies! I've fixed it. It took me a while because we were on vacation. Thank you for letting me know.
Nancy says
Thank you! (And no worries on timing - obviously I'm not incredibly prompt right now)
