Discover a coastline that changes with the seasons
The seaside collection returns to a coastal landscape in spring, summer, autumn and winter. A lighthouse, wooden jetty and curving shoreline act as familiar landmarks across the four scenes. Children can explore the relationship between land and water while colouring a place that changes throughout the year. The illustrations offer more than a summer beach picture, inviting discussion about visiting the coast at different times.
Look for the lighthouse first and talk about where it stands in relation to the water. Find the jetty and follow the curve of the shore. Then compare another seasonal page and see whether the same features can still be recognised. Ask what has changed around them, letting the child describe visible details before deciding which colours to use.
Use the scenes to imagine a seaside visit. Would the outing be for a walk, a game or time spent watching the water? What clothes might be comfortable in the picture's conditions? A child may remember a holiday or a nearby beach, but an imagined trip works just as well. Different answers can lead to a short story about the same coastal setting.
Choose from four printable A4 PDFs, each opening in a new tab for saving or printing. You can colour one season, compare two contrasting pages or collect the complete coastline set. Display the finished pictures in seasonal order and revisit the landmarks together. Small details, such as the position of the shore or a familiar building, give children useful starting points for explaining what they notice.
