Sandcastle on the Beach with Smiling Sun

A tall sandcastle stands at the water's edge with three pointed towers, arched windows, a big arched doorway, and a little flag waving on top. Behind it, rows of wavy lines show the ocean, and a happy sun with a round smiling face and short rays shines above two puffy clouds. In the sand up front, a striped beach ball sits to the right, a smiling starfish rests on the left, and a few scallop shells are scattered nearby. Small dots and curved lines add sandy texture. Try coloring the sun and ball in bright warm shades, then use soft tan and yellow for the castle so the arched windows stand out. This free printable also works well for a summer talk about shapes, since triangles, rectangles, arches, and circles are all easy to spot.
