Harbor Dock Gossip Between a Sea Lion and a Gull

Coloring guide
On top of a wooden dock post sits a friendly sea lion, leaning toward a seagull on the edge of the pier as if they're swapping secrets. Thick rope winds around the bottom of the post, and the dock planks have lots of wood grain waiting for color. Gentle wavy lines make the water behind them, a small fishing boat with a cabin and life ring floats on the right, and a little lighthouse sits on a rocky hill to the left under two puffy clouds. Younger kids can handle the big simple shapes, and the feathers, ripples and rope give older kids more to do. Gray and brown suit the sea lion, white and sky blue the gull, and a bold red for the boat. Save this free printable PDF for a rainy afternoon.

- 2Color the hills on both sides of the harbor with leaf green, and the boat sail with pale sky blue.
- 3Color the seal's body and flippers, and the gull's wings, with light gray.
- 4Fill the wooden piling, dock posts and mooring post with driftwood brown, then the dock top and front plank with pale wood tan.
- 5Color the boat hull fire red, the thick rope with sandy tan, and the gull's feet golden yellow. Keep the gull's body, head, the boat cabin, the clouds and the seal's eye whites white.
- 6Optional: Add a little darker gray under the seal and wings, and a touch of shadow on the piling to make the scene feel deeper.
