Dory can lose track of a conversation without losing interest in whoever she’s talking to. Marlin worries, Nemo listens, and Hank would appreciate a little less conversation altogether. Between the swish of fins and the bustle of the Marine Life Institute, these personalities make even a wrong turn worth following.
Finding Dory coloring pages bring a little of that company to the table. There is affection in the smallest details: Dory’s wide-eyed attention, Marlin’s anxious face, the way Hank seems permanently ready to leave. Those are the touches worth lingering over, with the cap off a marker and no urgent need to find the exit.

Coloring Ideas for Finding Dory Pages
Try one of these coloring ideas, or use them as a starting point for your own.
A Family Portrait with Jenny, Charlie, and Baby Dory
Jenny and Charlie lean so close to baby Dory that the three faces fill the picture with one enormous nuzzle. It is a lovely choice for a family coloring session: share the page, with each person taking one character, and choose the blues together before starting. Slightly different shades will help separate the overlapping faces. Keep the area around baby Dory’s eyes light so her tiny face remains easy to spot between her parents. Add a family name in the space above for a portrait worth putting on the fridge.
What Have Dory and Marlin Just Spotted?
Marlin is pressed close to Dory, and neither looks particularly reassured. Their wide eyes and open mouths provide the reaction; the blank space leaves the cause entirely up to you. Before coloring, decide what has startled them. A jellyfish drifting too close? An unexpectedly large shadow? Or something harmless that Marlin would still prefer to avoid?
Draw the surprise at a distance from their faces so their expressions remain the focus. This makes a fun shared activity: one person colors the pair while another invents what they have encountered.
Follow the Spots Along Destiny’s Back
Destiny’s broad smile and upward sweep give this picture a wonderfully buoyant feel. Her spots follow the curve of her body, making them part of the movement rather than just tiny spaces to fill.
Try leaving the spots pale while coloring the surrounding skin blue-gray. Work in small stretches along her back and tail so the markings stay visible. Underneath, a lighter belly will separate her rounded body from her fins. A few long, gently curving water lines behind her can continue that upward movement without crowding her generous grin.
Take a Seafloor Field Trip with Mr. Ray
Mr. Ray stretches across the top of this picture while Dory swims beneath him, above an already outlined seabed. The arrangement practically invites a little ocean lesson. What might Dory notice down there?
Add two or three small discoveries along the sand, such as a shell, a starfish, or a patch of sea grass. Keep them below Dory so there is still open water between her and Mr. Ray. After coloring, let someone else find each addition. Mr. Ray gets a few new teaching materials, and the page becomes a small search-and-find picture.
Make a Little Hello Card with Baby Dory
Baby Dory’s eyes take up an impressive amount of her face, with tiny fins reaching out on either side. That eager expression needs very little decoration to become a cheerful greeting.
Print this design at a smaller scale, color it, and cut a generous oval around Dory before attaching it to folded cardstock. Preserve the white highlights inside her eyes; they help keep that bright, attentive look. A short handwritten hello inside is enough. The result suits a note to a friend without needing a birthday, holiday, or elaborate reason to send it.
Plan the Next Stop for Dory, Marlin, and Nemo
Dory leads on the right, with Marlin and Nemo following behind. There is plenty of untouched space around them to turn this swim into a journey of your own.
Choose a destination first, then sketch a gently winding route through the background. A shell garden or a rocky arch could be the next stop; these would be your additions to the picture. Keep the route clear of their bodies, and use only a few landmarks. Once everything is colored, give the journey a title. Whether Marlin approved the itinerary is another question.
Give Bailey Room to Stay White
Destiny fills the upper part of this design, Bailey curves through the lower left, and little Dory faces him from the right. Their different sizes make the grouping especially appealing: Dory takes up the least room but still looks thoroughly involved.
Bailey offers a useful reason to color around a character. Build a soft blue area outside his outline, leaving most of his body white. A little pale gray beneath his jaw and along his underside can suggest roundness. Destiny’s patterned back and Dory’s stronger blue then give the picture variety without making Bailey disappear.
Share a Page with Dory, Marlin, and Nemo
Dory, Marlin, and Nemo turn toward one another here, their smiles making the loose triangle feel like a small gathering. It is an inviting page to share with a friend: take turns choosing a character, then pass the crayons across the table.
For Marlin and Nemo, use the same orange to make their family resemblance clear, leaving their broad white stripes uncolored. Dory’s blue will distinguish her immediately. Finish by adding a small handwritten word beside each character describing what they bring to the friendship. Let their expressions help with the choices.
