About this picture
This turtle packs sand into a bucket while a three-towered sandcastle - complete with arched doorways and a flag on top - rises beside it, ocean waves visible in the background. A smiling crab, a starfish, and a scalloped seashell are arranged along the sand in front, giving the bottom of the page plenty of beach detail. With three separate towers, it's an easy castle to give each one its own color rather than making the whole thing one shade.

Coloring ideas
- Give the sandcastle's three towers three different shades of tan or yellow instead of one flat sandy color.
- Color the crab, starfish, and seashell each in their own bright color against the beige sand.
- Use blue with a few white highlights for the ocean waves in the background.
- Keep the turtle a classic green so it doesn't blend into the sandy-colored castle it's building.
Learning and creativity connection
With three separate towers and several beach props, this page gives children practice making repeated but varied color decisions across similar shapes, rather than defaulting to one color for everything.
