Dino Mom and Baby

This tender page shows a tall, long-necked mother dinosaur lowering her head to gently touch noses with her small baby, both standing in a grassy clearing dotted with ferns. It is one of the warmest pages in the collection, and a lovely choice for talking about families and caring for one another. The two dinosaurs give a natural big-and-small contrast that helps younger children understand size, while the ferns and grass add easy background areas to fill. Many dinosaurs are believed to have cared for their young, nesting and protecting their babies — a sweet fact to share as you color. The gentle scene works beautifully in soft, natural colors. Print it on A4 or US Letter and let your child color the mother and baby in matching shades.
