Want to learn more? Compasses have been important navigation aids for over a thousand years. The first models originated in ancient China before becoming an integral part of navigation in Europe during the Middle Ages. With the magnetic pointer, sailors like your motif could maintain their course even when the sky was cloudy. Columbus and Co. relied on such instruments to explore the vast oceans. A compass consists of a magnetized needle that moves freely on a rotating disk. It always aligns itself with the Earth's magnetic field and points to the North Pole. This simple principle helped sailors gain confidence in their route and reach new continents. In the coloring page, you can see typical details: the sailor's sturdy clothing, the ship's deck, and the horizon that stretches far into the vast seas.

Colors and coloring ideas for your journey of discovery

When coloring, warm earth tones are especially good for the wooden deck and cool blue tones for the sea. For the sailor's clothing, maritime colors such as dark blue, beige, and white work well. Add red accents to the compass needle and use gold or bronze tones for the casing. With colored pencils, felt-tip pens, or watercolor pencils, you can achieve different effects.
