About this activity

A pirate ship with big striped sails and a skull-and-crossbones flag sails over the waves, with clouds above and a treasure chest and starfish in the corner. The sails, hull, waves, clouds and birds are dotted for tracing. There are many parts, which makes this a longer, harder page.
