What your child practises

  • Colours large triangular sail shapes without needing to lift the crayon often
  • Keeps colour inside the thin, straight mast as a small fine-motor step up
  • Practises using two or more colours to tell the two sails apart
  • Follows a curved wavy line with a crayon along the water at the bottom
  • Names facial features on the boat's face, like eyes and smile, while talking about it

About this worksheet

This sailboat has a face right on its hull, two round eyes, two curved eyebrows and a smiling mouth, so it feels more like a friendly character than a vehicle. Above the hull stands a tall, straight mast holding up two triangle sails, a smaller one on the left and a much bigger one on the right, plus a little curled flag flapping at the very top. Underneath, the boat sits on two gently wavy lines that stand in for the sea, with plenty of blank paper around them.

Nearly every shape here is large and open, so a child can colour the sails and hull in broad strokes without worrying about staying inside tight lines. The two sail triangles are a natural spot to try two different colours, and the mast is thin enough to be a nice small challenge in between the wide open spaces. The face gives a young child something to talk about while they work, like what colour the boat is and whether it looks happy to be out on the water.

There is only one boat, two sails, one flag and two wave lines to fill in, so it will not take long to finish, and there are no fiddly background details to slow a small hand down. It suits a child who is just starting out with colouring books, and it also works well as a calm, quick page for a slightly older child who wants something they can finish in one sitting.

How to use this sheet

Let your child start with the two big sails, the easiest shapes on the page, then move to the hull and save the thin mast and small flag for last, since those need steadier hands.
