Coloring order
- Begin with the dirt wall on the left that holds the dinosaur bones and the cliffs behind it in ochre and brown, then color the sky pale blue.
- Color paleontologist Bow's explorer hat, his many-pocketed vest, and his shorts, then make the skeleton in the dirt wall a light cream so the bones stand out from the earth.
- Finish with the tent and dinosaur flag on the right and the shovels, sieve, and brushes on the ground, choosing a different color for each handle.
Questions to talk about
- Which part of the dinosaur bones is Bow brushing clean?
- If this dinosaur were alive, what sound might it make?
- Have you ever dug for something in a sandbox or at the playground?

Bury a few blocks or spoons in a tub of sand or rice, then gently brush them out with a paintbrush and play fossil hunters just like Bow.

Printing and coloring tips
- Print on A4 or Letter in portrait to keep the original proportions.
- Keep the finished version open beside you while you color.
- Use slightly heavier paper with water-based markers so the ink shows through less.
- Fill the large areas first and leave the small ones for later.
- The finished version is only a suggestion. Any colors you like will work.
