Boy on a Sailboat Waving at a Friendly Whale

Coloring guide
A whale pops its head above the waves and sends up a fountain of water, while a smiling boy waves from the deck of a sailboat right next to it. He's wearing a striped shirt and leaning on the edge of the boat. The sail has horizontal lines, and a little flag flies from the top of the mast. Up in the sky there's a round sun with short rays beside two puffy clouds, and wavy lines fill the sea. Long curved lines on the whale's belly are fun to color. Soft blue or gray works for the whale, and red and white stripes would look great on the boy's shirt. The shapes are big and open, so preschoolers and early elementary kids can handle this free printable easily.
