This printable shows a grizzly bear catching a salmon in a rocky stream. The bear stands at the water’s edge with an open mouth, shaggy fur, and clear body lines that are easy to follow. Around it, you can see splashing water, rocks, grass, and a simple shoreline. The line work is medium in density, with enough detail to keep it interesting and enough open space to make the coloring page feel clear and not crowded.

This free pdf suits children around 7 to 12 years old and works well for a quiet activity at home, in class, or in a waiting room. It is a good choice for kids who want an animal scene with more action than a simple portrait, but without tiny areas that slow them down too much. Most children can finish it in about 20 to 30 minutes.

For a natural look, try brown and tan on the bear, pink and silver on the salmon, and blue or teal in the river. Gray rocks and green grass help the splashes stand out. Coloring pencils are useful for the fur texture, while markers can make the water areas bright and clean.

Coloring tips for this bear scene

  • Use two browns on the grizzly bear to show the shaggy fur, with a lighter tan on the face, paws, or belly.
  • Make the jumping salmon stand out with pink on the body and a little silver or light gray along the back.
  • Color the river in blue and teal, then leave small white parts in the splashes to keep the water lively.
  • Give the rocky stream a mix of gray and slate tones so the bear remains the main focus.
  • Add olive and green to the grass and shoreline for a calm background around the action.
