Steps
- Step 1Cut a 9x12" sheet of royal blue construction paper in half to 4-1/2 x 12". Cut a wave pattern straight across the top 12" side to create the horizon line.
- Step 2Cut a left-to-right, upward slanting wave out of blue construction paper, and a left-to-right downward slanting wave out of atomic blue construction paper. Highlight all three waves with a white oil pastel.
- Step 3Glue the royal blue horizon wave to a 9x12" piece of sky blue construction paper about 3" down from the top.
- Step 4Position the blue wave slightly lower, as the middle ground. Line up the bottom of the atomic blue wave to the bottom of the sky blue, as the foreground. Glue only the bottom 1" of both waves to the sky blue background and slightly curl the paper so the waves pop out for a 3D effect.
- Step 5Using a pencil, draw a boat, three sails and two masts on white construction paper. Cut them out and color with oil pastels. For younger children, use our boat template.
- Step 6On the rest of the white paper, draw clouds with oil pastels.
- Step 7Position the boat behind the middle ground wave and attach with 3D-Os.
- Step 8Cut out the clouds and add them to the picture with a glue stick and 3D-Os. Use oil pastels to add details to the waves.
