Coloring order

Start with the sky, clouds, gulls, the distant cliffs and rock arch, and the sea, then color the wreck's broken planks and mast brown and the torn sails cream.
Color Tidemast's scales ocean blue and teal and the belly sand cream, and give the spotted sail-fin wings and spiky fins a cream base with rust orange.
Color the barnacles on the shoulders and legs, the driftwood horns and the anchor-shaped tail tip, then finish with the seaweed, shells, starfish and tide pools on the rocks.

Questions to talk about

How do you think this ship ended up stuck in the bay?
What might Tidemast be guarding from its rock?
What creatures might you find in a rock pool at the seaside?

Take it further

Look closely at a seashell or a photo of the seashore and notice its shapes and patterns, then write a short story about the secret hidden in the shipwreck Tidemast guards.

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.
