Dora and Boots in a Boat Paint by Numbers: the river scene on canvas
Dora and Boots row a wooden boat down a blue river, with the purple backpack beside them. Green hills line the banks, trees frame both sides and white clouds drift across the blue sky. The palette is blue, green, brown, pink, orange and purple, split into clearly outlined areas that you fill one number at a time. The format is square. If you like water scenes, our boats and seascape paint by numbers range has more to choose from.
Tips for painting this design
Start with the sky and the white clouds to set the background. Move on to the green hills and the trees, then paint the blue river, the wooden boat and the two characters. The purple backpack and the pink clothes are narrow, so use the fine brush for them and the wide brush for the river. Choose 40x40 cm or larger if you want the faces of Dora and Boots to stay easy to paint. The paper chart shows the numbers of the narrow areas before you start.
Sizes, colours and painting time
This Dora and Boots design comes in 12 sizes, from 15x15 to 70x80 cm. You pick a kit of 24, 36 or 48 colours, on rolled canvas or with a wooden frame to assemble. Allow about 12 to 30 hours depending on the size. For other scenes from the series, see our Dora the Explorer paint by numbers collection.

Questions about this design
Which size should I choose for this design?
The faces of Dora and Boots are the smallest areas, so we advise 40x40 cm or larger. The design is square, and that size leaves enough room for the fine brush on the features. Smaller sizes from 15x15 cm are possible but need more care.
Are the facial details hard to paint?
The level is intermediate, with medium areas and some fine details. The faces, the purple backpack and the pink clothes need the fine brush from the kit. On 40x40 cm or larger the features stay clear, and the paper chart helps with the narrow numbered areas.
Who is this paint kit for?
Children who know the cartoon will recognise the scene straight away. The intermediate level suits an older child painting with an adult, or an adult who wants a picture for a child's bedroom.
How long does it take to finish?
Allow about 12 to 30 hours, depending on the size you choose. Small sizes take less time and the largest, 70x80 cm, takes the most. The design is painted area by area, so you can stop and resume at any point.
