I’ve been creating seashell coloring pages for a while with a single shell (or two) on each page.  This new “match the seashells to their names” worksheet is more of a learning page for classroom or home-school teaching.

This student handout is a fun way for kids to learn the names of tropical sea life.  Complete it by drawing lines from the name of the shell to the image on the side. Because the printout is in black and white, it might be fun to research each type of shell to see it’s coloring.

You can become more familiar with the different types of shells at my Types of Shells article which I wrote at the Wizzley writing site. Or peruse this blog where most of these shells have their own page of info.

This free, printable, page lists twelve common names of shells with the corresponding shell art along each side.  Kids can draw a line to connect the picture with the name and then they can color the page.
