Imagine you are a ship sailing on the big, dark ocean at night. It's hard to see where you are going! You might get too close to the rocks.

But then, you see a friendly flash of light from the shore. Flash... flash... flash... That light is coming from a lighthouse! A lighthouse is a very tall, strong tower with a giant, super-bright light on top.

This special light doesn't just shine all the time; it blinks on and off in a special pattern, like a secret code. Every lighthouse has its own code, so sailors can look at the blinking light and say, "Ah! That's the lighthouse near Sandy Bay! Now I know where I am."

The lighthouse helps to say to the ships: "Hello! Land is here! Be careful, stay away from the dangerous rocks!" It's like a big, kind friend guiding the ships to safety.

And right next to the tall lighthouse, there is almost always a little one-story house. This is the lighthouse keeper's house. The lighthouse keeper is the person who takes care of the lighthouse. They live in this cozy little house with their family. Their job is to make sure the big light is always working.

Sometimes, long ago, they had to climb all the stairs to the top of the tower to turn the light on at night and turn it off in the morning. Today, let's follow the step-by-step instructions to learn how to draw this simple lighthouse!
