Boat coloring page

My cute printable boat coloring page is pretty simple - so kids can add lots of ideas of their own!

He or she is a jolly little boat, chugging along under a deep blue sky... or heavy gray rainclouds!

Coloring ideas and more

• add the sea, or a river, and sky in the background

• practise drawing waves and dots for the spray

• draw little fishies swimming along in the water under the boat

• add the name of their boat on the side...

• or cut out several boats to make their own little fleet!

• And of course, you can sing "Row, row, row your boat" as you color.

If you decide to use three or four boats, you could glue them all onto a large sheet of blue construction paper to make a much larger picture, and then create an impressive sailing scene!

More boaty fun for your kids!

Why not make a paper boat? Grab a sheet of paper and follow along as this six year old expertly creates her boat:

You can then sail your little boat in a basin or sink - and add a bit of action with any plastic bath boats or animals you have. You may need to make a few of these boats, however, as they may get wet and sink!

You could also make one of these paper boats and then color that in.
