Sailing Ship With Four Sails and Leaping Dolphin

A large wooden sailing ship floats on wavy water, drawn with two tall masts, each topped with a small waving flag. Four big square sails fill the middle of the page, two higher up and two lower down, with rope lines and a pair of round lookout baskets visible behind them. The ship's tall, boxy back end has several rows of small rectangular windows, and more windows run along the side of the hull. A puffy cloud sits behind the sails, and a straight horizon line crosses the page. In the lower right corner, a smiling dolphin jumps out of a small splash. The big blank sails are perfect for a Thanksgiving history lesson on the Mayflower, so kids could color them in cream or tan and add their own crayon patterns. Print as many copies as you need for a classroom or a family table activity. The dolphin and waves are good spots for bright blues and grays.
