About this picture
A tall, spotted long-necked dinosaur walks alongside a smaller version of itself, the baby's shorter neck and rounder body making the size difference easy to read at a glance. A sun with simple rays and a full leafy tree fill out the background, with small grass tufts along the ground. Coloring the parent and baby in matching shades but different spot patterns is an easy way to tie the pair together without making the page repetitive.

Coloring ideas
- Color the tall parent dinosaur and the smaller baby in matching color families, but use a lighter shade on the baby to show the family connection.
- Give the oval spots on both dinosaurs the same accent color to tie the pair together.
- Color the tree a rich green and the sun a warm yellow to balance out the two large dinosaur shapes.
- Try adding a slightly different shade to the baby's tail versus the parent's tail so their sizes are easy to compare at a glance.
Learning and creativity connection
Comparing the larger and smaller dinosaur while coloring is a simple, visual way to reinforce size and scale concepts, the same big/small comparisons used in early math.
