Free to print for personal and classroom use. This coloring page is part of the Crab collection, made for ages 5–7 and drawn in a Stickers style.

🎨 How to color it

Color the crab coral red, the four bubbles pale aqua, the seaweed bright green, and the little pebbles sandy tan. Use chunky crayons or markers for the crab’s big shell and claws, and don’t worry if the color jumps over the thick sticker lines. For a fun secret, make each bubble a slightly different blue so they look like tiny floating moon-jellies.

Pippa’s Bubble Hello — Under the creaky harbor dock, where ropes smelled salty and gulls clacked overhead, Pippa set herself a tiny challenge: she would say hello to every boat before supper. Read the full story →

Under the creaky harbor dock, where ropes smelled salty and gulls clacked overhead, Pippa set herself a tiny challenge: she would say hello to every boat before supper. She waved both claws at the tall boats. Clack-clack! Not one sailor looked down.

So Pippa tucked her feet by the smooth pebbles and blew into the water: bloop, bloop, bloop, bloop. Four bubbles popped up beside the seaweed, round and shiny as secrets. A child on a boat gasped, “The crab is waving!” Pippa lifted her claws high, exactly where she belonged. Ever since, harbor crabs send bubbles first, and if you spot four rising together, you’ll know who is saying hello.
