Dino and the Volcano

This page sets the scene with a cute round cartoon dinosaur standing on a small hill, glancing back over its shoulder at a smoking volcano in the distance. Scattered ferns, a few rocks, and a couple of palm-like prehistoric plants fill out the foreground, making it one of the richest pages in the collection to color. The mix of a simple, friendly dinosaur and a detailed background means there is something for every age: little ones can color the chunky dinosaur, while older kids enjoy the plants, rocks, and the orange glow of the volcano. Volcanoes were part of the ancient world dinosaurs lived in, so the scene is a fun springboard for talking about what Earth looked like long ago. Print on A4 or US Letter for a full, scenic page.
