Rowboat Crab Passing a Striped Lighthouse
Coloring guide
A crab with big round eyes and a wide open smile rows a little wooden boat over gentle waves. He grips two oars in his big claws, and the paddle blades dip into the water on both sides. The boat has plank lines along the hull and a center beam running down the front, and a few of his legs peek over the edge. Farther back, a striped lighthouse stands on a small rocky island near the horizon, with one puffy cloud in the sky. Shapes are large and lines are clean, so this free printable works well for preschoolers and early elementary kids. Bright red or orange for the crab, red and white stripes on the lighthouse, and a blue sea and sky will make it pop. Kids who like Crab coloring pages usually enjoy Puppies and Cats too.
