Green Sea Turtle
Adult green sea turtles eat mostly seagrasses and algae. Their name comes from their greenish fat, not the colour of their shell.
How to print these sea turtle coloring pages
Every sheet below prints on one page, in black outline on white, with the site navigation stripped out. Use Print the whole pack for all six, or the button on a single sheet to print just that one. In the print dialog, choosing Save as PDF as the destination gives you a file to keep or email to a classroom.
- Free and unlimited. Print as many copies as a class needs.
- No accounts. Nothing to sign into and nothing to enter — not even an email address.
- Any paper. The sheets fit Letter and A4 without being cut off.
- Ink-light. Black outlines on white. Select black-and-white printing in your printer settings.
Look closely while you colour
Compare a loggerhead’s broad head with a hawksbill’s narrow beak, or follow the ridges on a leatherback’s back. Each sheet has a short fact to read together.
These original illustrations were created with AI and checked for obvious drawing errors. They are creative activities, not scientific identification diagrams. The nesting picture shows eggs below the sand so children can see the nest.
Once the colouring is done, the same journey is playable: guide a hatchling from the nest to the ocean in the lifecycle game, or dig a nest of your own in Nest Dig. Teachers, there is a matching lesson plan and worksheet aligned to NGSS life-science standards.
For photographs of the real animals and the science behind them, NOAA Fisheries and SEE Turtles provide more information.
