Eight living things found at the edge of the sea are included in this collection of designs for you to color. There's a scallop, a starfish, a sea horse, and some seaweed. You'll run into a lobster, a crab, a sea gull, and a pair of fish — and you'll find fun coloring all of them in.The pictures are printed on special paper that allows light to shine through it. First cut the pages from the book as neatly as you can. Then color the pictures, using crayons, felt-tip pens, or paint. You'll get particularly interesting effects if you color both sides, using different colors on the backs than on the fronts. When the pictures are taped to a window, the sunlight shines through them, the way it shines through colored glass!
