Boat Template
Boats are often a subject that’s really popular with kids because they’re something that they might see about a lot but don’t normally get to use them in the same way as you would use a car. You might see a boat at the beach or play with toy boats but most of us don’t have our own one. I think that adds that bit of magic to them?
Add to that the fact that you can use boats for exploring and that makes them a great topic to help encourage your child’s imagination and creativity, you can have your boat at the seaside, sailing to a deserted island, surrounded by whales and dolphins, crewed by pirates… the list goes on and on!
The PDF file for this template contains three different designs. The first is a basic boat outline that’s ideal for decorating. The second design also includes some water under the boat and the third design has three portholes on the boat.
Boat Craft Ideas
Coloring – Of course you can use this as a boat coloring sheet. All you need to do is print out the design that you want and use your crayons, coloring pencils or markers to color it in.
Tissue Paper Sea – If you’ve colored in your boat why not add some sea with a little bit of texture? Tear strips of blue tissue paper and glue them to the bottom of the page. If you want to add more why not glue on some cotton balls to make some clouds in the sky.
Stickers – Not only are stickers a great way to help support your child’s fine motor skills but they’re something that are normally super popular with kids as well. Choose stars, spots or ocean themed stickers and use them to decorate you boat’s sail.
Torn Paper – Tearing paper is a really fun way to decorate your design and it’s a great way to use up any old scraps of colored paper that you have too. Simply tear paper into pieces before sticking it onto your boat. This will possibly look better if you go for similar colors on each part of the boat (eg a brown hull) but if you want a rainbow colored sail then you go for it!
