Building Together Fun Coloring Pages for 3-5

Coloring page story

One afternoon, the dino-nauts decided to build the best space fort ever inside the Star-Hopper’s big cargo bay. But everyone had a different idea.

“It needs to be strong!” said Rex, trying to pile up heavy cargo crates. “A fortress!”

“No, it needs to be cozy!” said Tripsy, gathering all the softest blankets and pillows. “A snuggle-nest!”

“Boring!” zipped Velo. “It needs to be fast! With a slide made from the emergency ramp!”

“I just want to be able to fit inside,” rumbled Bron sadly, looking at the small spaces they were making.

They all started building their own forts, and soon the room was a mess of angry dinosaurs. Rex’s fort was too hard, Tripsy’s was too floppy, and Velo kept sliding into everyone. It wasn’t fun at all.

Finally, Tripsy sat down. “This isn’t working,” she said. “A fort is supposed to be for all of us.”

They looked at each other. She was right.

“Okay,” said Rex. “How about we use my strong crates for the walls…” “…and line them with Tripsy’s cozy blankets?” added Velo. “And we can use the ramp for a slide on the outside!” said Tripsy. “…and we’ll make the door extra tall, so I can fit,” finished Bron with a happy smile.

They worked together, and it was the best fort ever. It was strong and cozy, with a fast slide and a door big enough for everyone. They all snuggled inside with a flashlight, feeling happy because they had learned that the best things are built together.
