The dinosaur section invites kids to match dino tracks, give the winning red ribbon sticker to the fastest dinosaur in a speedy race, and invent a dino’s favorite meal. The section on sports has boys coloring in an awesome skater boy, drawing themselves bowling and swimming, and playing a skiing game. In the tool section, have fun filling in an empty toolbox and designing a backyard landscape. Enjoy tractors by drawing tires and riding through the farmer’s fields. Using the included 50 stencils and 350 stickers, kids are encouraged to color, draw, count, design, stencil, and sticker to their hearts’ content. Strengthen math, art and reading skills while having fun doing cool activities.
