- Medium
- Areas to color
- about 230
Coloring order
- Start with the huge net spread across John's and James's laps. You can fill the mesh with one earthy yellow-brown.
- Color the two men's clothes, beards and curly hair in different colors so you can tell them apart.
- Finish with the wooden floor of the boat, the baskets, and the small figure standing on the far shore with the hills.
Questions to talk about
- What might John and James be chatting about while they mend the net?
- What would the two do if someone called to them from the shore?
- Have you ever fixed or repaired something? How was it?
Take it further
Try a simple weaving game with yarn or string. Each person holds a strand and together you make a net shape, sharing how it feels to work side by side.
Age and time are rough guides for a child coloring alone with pencils or crayons; every child is different. The area count is an estimate counted from the line-art image.

Printing and coloring tips
- Print on A4 or Letter in portrait to keep the original proportions.
- Keep the finished version open beside you while you color.
- Use slightly heavier paper with water-based markers so the ink shows through less.
- Fill the large areas first and leave the small ones for later.
- The finished version is only a suggestion. Any colors you like will work.
