Complete The Starfish Puzzle
This lovely starfish picture is a little easier to complete than some of our other complete the picture puzzles, so younger kids can give it a try. They can colour in the picture when they've finished too.
Starfish
Starfish are a unique and fascinating sea creature. We have some fun activities here to help your kids learn more about starfish!
Did You Know?
All starfish have something called five-point radial symmetry, which gives them their unusual star shape. They are found in every ocean on the planet, and there are over 2,000 species of starfish.
Fun fact: Starfish are not really fish, despite their name! They are actually a type of sea urchin. Sometimes they are known as sea stars.
