What your child practises
- Colours large curved areas, like the dog's body and the wave, without needing to lift the crayon often

- Fills small enclosed shapes, like the foam bumps and the round collar tag, more carefully than the open areas
- Talks through a simple scene, describing what the dog is doing and why
About this worksheet
This puppy has its arms stretched straight out for balance, tongue hanging out one side of a big open smile, as it rides a long surfboard with a single stripe down the middle. Its ears flop out to either side and its tail curls up behind it. Around its neck is a collar with one round tag. Behind the board, the wave curls right over into a tight spiral, with a few soft foam bumps clustered at the base and one small round bubble floating just in front of them.
Most of this page is made up of big, forgiving shapes: the dog's body, the wave's curl, and the long flat surfboard all give a child plenty of room to colour without worrying about staying inside tight lines. The foam clusters and the spiral of the wave are the only fiddly bits, and there are just a few of them, so a child can decide whether to fill them in carefully or colour past them fast. It is a nice page for talking about the seaside, splashing water, or why a dog might need a surfboard at all.
There is nothing tricky here technically. The lines are thick and the spaces are open, which makes this one of the easier sheets to hand to a child who is still learning to stay inside the lines. Older preschoolers will finish it quickly and might enjoy adding their own background, like sun or sand.
How to use this sheet
Start with the surfboard and the dog's body, since those are the biggest, easiest shapes. Save the small foam bumps and the collar tag for last, when your child's hand is warmed up, and it is fine if those get skipped altogether.
