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.
Questions and answers
Which summer picture fits a short slot, and which fills an afternoon?
For a short slot print an easy grid under 95 squares: Palm tree 78, Crab 88 or Sunglasses 94. For an afternoon the detailed Sandcastle has 430 squares and the detailed Beach ball 420.
Is there a watermelon color by number?
Yes. The Watermelon slice has red flesh, black seeds and a green rind. It has 108 squares and 5 seeds on the easy grid, 376 squares and 9 seeds on the detailed one. The detailed rind needs pink and light green.
Are there 4th of July pictures too?
Not on this page. The 4th of July set has a flag, fireworks and an eagle. The ice cream set adds a cone, a sundae and an ice pop.
Will these print on A4 as well as Letter?
Yes. Each worksheet fits one page of either. Page 2 is the colored answer key, so before camp copies untick Answer key on page 2 under More options.
