About this picture
The long curved crest sweeping back from its head is the standout feature here, marking this dinosaur as a Parasaurolophus rather than the T-Rex or Stegosaurus seen elsewhere in the set. It's greeting a small fish poking up from the pond, with cattails and a lily pad filling in the water's edge. The oval spots along its back and the rippling water both offer a chance to break up the coloring with more than one shade.

Coloring ideas
- Color the row of oval spots along its back a shade darker than the body for a natural, layered pattern.
- Use blues and greens for the pond water and lily pad, saving warmer tones for the Parasaurolophus itself.
- Give the curved head crest a slightly different shade from the rest of the head to make its distinctive shape stand out.
- Color the little fish a bright, cheerful color so it doesn't disappear into the blue pond water.
Learning and creativity connection
Following the pond's wavy water lines with a crayon is good practice for smooth, continuous strokes, an early building block for handwriting fluency.
