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.
Download pdf and print Melanie’s free valentines coloring page.
I’ve found that coloring pages have been a useful tool when getting New Kid to exercise his fine motor skills. He tends to quit free draw and writing activities quickly, claiming that he’s tired. However, when I give him a coloring page, he stays at the table for a bit longer.
If you live in the NYC area and like to meet Melanie, you can do so this weekend, February 9th at the HipTot Festival in Brooklyn. Grammy award winner, Father Goose is playing!

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.
Yeah! Thanks for sharing that!
What a cute coloring page! This will be perfect for the “I’m bored!” attacks.
I think it’s good for any time — not just Valentine’s Day, too.
Thanks, everybody! I love those little fish, they make me smile.
