How to Complete the Blue Tang Dot to Dot
Blue tangs are tropical reef fish known for vivid blue bodies, dark markings, and yellow tails. Begin at dot 1 along the top fin, follow the numbers around the tail and belly, then complete the face and return to dot 50.

Start at dot 1 and connect through dot 12 along the tall dorsal fin and toward the tail. Follow the gentle curve carefully and check each number before drawing.
