The anchor design is wonderfully easy for tracing practice. The straight shank and the sweeping curved arms encourage careful, controlled crayon movements.

While coloring, talk about what an anchor does: “When a big ship wants to rest, it drops the anchor to stay safe.” Act it out by pretending to throw an anchor and making a deep “āāā” sound as it sinks.
