Beach, beach bag and cooler

The Beach ball, Sandcastle, Crab and Palm tree come from the beach. The Sunglasses and Flip-flops come out of the beach bag, and the Watermelon slice and Lemonade out of the cooler. None of them names a month, so the set also works in December, where summer starts then.

Yellow goes first, and the Crab wants a fresh red

Yellow is in the key of 7 of the 8 easy grids, all but the Crab. The detailed Sandcastle alone has 240 yellow squares. The easy Crab is 82 red squares out of 88. The detailed Beach ball is the only detailed grid that stays inside the basic 8 crayons.

  • The Lemonade's ice cubes are empty squares inside the drink, 2 on the easy grid and 3 on the detailed.
  • The Flip-flops mirror left to right at both sizes, the Crab only on the easy grid: find the fold line.
  • While they color the Watermelon slice: the fruit is 91 percent water, and the first farmed watermelons grew in Sudan.

How this list was compiled: Our own pixel pictures, drawn square by square for this site on 12 by 12 and 24 by 24 grids. Nothing is traced, scanned or copied from clip art, no picture shows a brand or a logo, and none shows a character from a film, show, book or game. The color and square counts in each description were counted from the finished grids. The watermelon fact on the page was checked against Wikipedia in September 2026. Licence: own work
