How to Make a Sailboat Name Craft
Print the Template
Start by printing the sailboat template (found at the bottom of this post) on white cardstock. I recommend using high-quality paper like Neenah White for best results.
Decorate Your Sailboat
Use your favorite coloring tools—crayons, markers, colored pencils, or even paint—to decorate your sailboat. Get creative! Try making patterns, using bright colors, or even creating a mosaic look.

Carefully cut out the sailboat and as many name circles as you need to spell your child’s name.
