Desert Island Palm Tree With a Pirate Message in a Bottle

One curved palm tree grows from a tiny island, with a striped trunk, five big jagged-edged leaves and a cluster of coconuts tucked right under the fronds. Two leafy grass tufts sit at the base of the trunk, and a few small rocks and sandy dots are scattered over the island. Wavy water circles the shore, and in the bottom corner a corked bottle floats with a rolled-up scroll inside, so a young storyteller can imagine who sent it. The shapes are large and the outlines bold, which helps preschoolers and early elementary kids who are still building pencil control. Brown and tan stripes on the trunk, bright green leaves and a sunny yellow island look good, and soft blues for the water make the bottle pop. It's a free printable for a quiet afternoon or a pirate-themed party. Love this Pirate coloring page? You might also enjoy our Unicorns and Dragons coloring pages.
