Free Walrus Coloring Pages

Learning About Arctic Walruses

Walruses are fascinating marine mammals that live in the freezing waters of the Arctic. When kids color these pages, they can learn about the thick layer of blubber that keeps these animals warm. You can talk about how both male and female walruses grow long ivory tusks, which they use to pull themselves out of the water and onto the frozen ice floes.

These heavy animals often rest in large groups called herds. In our main walrus section, you will find pictures of them lounging on the ice or diving down to the ocean floor. They use their sensitive whiskers to feel around in the dark mud for their favorite food, like clams and mollusks.

Ideas for Ocean and Alphabet Lessons

These printables work well in a classroom setting. Teachers can use them as a quiet morning activity or a supplement to a winter science unit. If you are teaching the alphabet, a walrus sheet is a helpful addition to a Letter W activity.

For broader animal units, you can combine these sheets with other cold-water creatures.

• Pair a mother and baby walrus page with lessons on marine mammal families.
• Discuss arctic habitats by coloring walruses alongside a penguin printable.
• Compare their tusks and whiskers to the features of a whale or other ocean animals.
