About this coloring page
A small sailboat with a round porthole floats on rolling waves, its triangular sail split down the middle by a tall mast. A pennant flag flies from the mast, and drops of spray splash up near the bow. In the sky, a smiling sun with short rays shines in one corner while two seagulls glide overhead.
Coloring ideas
Make each half of the sail a different color, or add stripes to it. Color the boat in a bright red, blue or wood brown, and use several blues and greens for the waves. A yellow and orange sun and white seagulls stand out against a pale blue sky.
Skills practiced
Sailboats move with the wind, which is a good chance to talk about wind and weather. Children can also look for shapes in the picture: triangles in the sail, a circle in the porthole and the sun, and curves in the waves.
Printing tips
This page works for summer camps, beach trips and transportation units. Crayons or markers both work; a little blue watercolor wash over crayon waves creates a nice resist effect.
