Estimated time: 50–70 min
Difficulty: Challenging
Areas to color: about 360

Coloring order

Start with Paul's big open scroll, his red cloak, his curly hair and his beard.
Use green and blue to tell apart the two younger companions sitting beside him and the small scroll one of them holds.
Color the sail, ropes, barrels and jars brown, and finish with the lighthouse and white houses of the harbor in pale shades.

Questions to talk about

What do you think Paul is planning to write on the scroll?
How will the person far away feel when they read it?
Who far away would you like to send a letter or picture to?

Take it further

Write a short letter to someone far away, like Paul. Include one greeting line, one line of encouragement and a tiny drawing, then fold it up.

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.

About this image

The black-and-white line art you print and color, drawn with wide areas and clear outlines for children.

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.
